Nancy Miller commented on Ilie Ruby's article Countdown to Publication: 5 Ways to Talk About Your Book - 43 Days

August 2012

My book is being released on October 2nd and this has been so helpful in terms of preparing to speak about it. My co-author and I, Armen Bacon, are also presenting at the Central California Women's Conference in September, so we'll get good practice...

Very good distinction, Sharon, and duly noted!

June 2012

Oh, God, the "theres" drive me nuts too: there (as in "over there" refers (not refurrs) to geographical placement); they're is your contraction for "they are," and "their" is the possessive form, as in "Their house is on fire." Or, you can say,...

I have a lit emphasis, too, Ava, but this could be fun to research further. I believe it's appropriate to say "let's discuss Billy's bullying behavior in class," but now you've got me going and I'll check this out. After I read the 34 papers in...

Ha! You see, kids? Refurred has other meanings that are significant to dog lovers! But yes, this drives me insane, too, Emily. It gets cumbersome to keep saying "he or she" and using only plurals is not always appropriate, either, but you're right...

This really speaks, Maria, to how imprecise our language is becoming. As an English instructor, I've always seen my role as being that of a guardian of civilization, so to speak, so this is a subject close to my heart. We do use words...

Nancy Miller commented on Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg's article Armchair Book Tours: Getting Yourself Out There Without Leaving Home

April 2012

Lucinda, I've been strongly encouraged by my agent and publisher to create a special FB page just for the book, although I haven't gotten around to doing this, either, but am looking into it. It makes sense, though, as you will be driving potential...

April 2012

This is really great advice, Caryn, and something I've been wondering about in light of several invitations I've received to read or do signings. Love the idea of synchronous meetings or phone conferencing. I use these VOIPs in teaching and they are...

Hmm. Interesting perspective. The life is in the details, even if we make up the details.
