"Dominique Millette's disturbing blog about women being expected to be sexually available at co-ed busines functions does indeed provide another reason why women may be reluctant to network in those settings--self-preservation.

"Great post! I agree with Jenne'. Much to ponder. I wonder if a main reason why Coelho was successful "giving" his stuff away was that he was an already well-established author?
Granted my experience in business and marketing is nil,…"
B. Lynn Goodwin commented on the blog post 'Steal My Book?'

Steal My Book?

Should I let you steal my work? More and more, that’s a question most writers will face.Take a writer who said “Yes” with astounding results ...
In 1999, the agent for Brazilian author Paulo Coelho returned from Russia with bad news. Coehlho's novel “The Alchemist” had sold fewer than 3,000 copies and the publisher had decided to discontinue publication.
A second Russian language publisher was found but the republication was held up by supply… Continue
No More Faux Beauvoir

If you’ve read that feminist classic, “The Second Sex,” in English, you’ve been reading a faulty translation that distorted Simone de Beauvoir’s message. Now you can finally read a new translation that is far more faithful to the French author’s original intent—the fruit of a long struggle by feminist scholars.The new translation, by Americans Constance Borde and Sheila Malovany-Chevallier, has just been… Continue

I’m devoting my blog today to the She Writes Day of Action, which, as many of you already know, is aimed at amassing a list of all the superlative books written by women authors this year. I found it surprisingly easy to come up with some great books written by women in 2009. (Surprising only because most of my favorite books were written before 1940.)
The Day of Action came about when Kamy Wicoff, the fearless founder of the women writers' website She Writes, protested…
Does Content Want to Be Free?

It was a shock to hear my favorite tabloid being hawked for nothing on the streets of London this week. The Evening Standard is the first quality newspaper in London to become officially and (presumably permanently) free.“The Evening Standard is now free; Keep on walking,” shouted one purveyor to rush hour commuters dashing for the Tube, who would no longer have to pause for even a second to dig out 50 pence (80 cents) from their pocket.
According to media… Continue
Quick Hit: Sudden Death for Big Library in the Sky

So the Google book search deal to create the biggest-yet library-cum-bookstore in the sky is officially moribund—at least in its present form. Yesterday, the judge charged with approving the deal for Google’s online e-book offerings gave the settlement parties more time to renegotiate the terms in order to take into account the objections… Continue Comment Wall (2 comments)
