Morning Brief — Wednesday, April 22
I’m trying not to gripe so much (what can I say — I’m a complainer) so today I’m just linking to a few fun (and informative) posts.
Allan Mott from Bookgasm provides an amusing “analysis” of books vs. Kindles in Paper or Plastic?: The Books vs. Kindle Showdown.
Via Booksquare, Joanna Penn from The Creative Penn introduces us to The Publishing Quadrant: Where do you belong?
And you must check out this priceless photo from Moonrat over at Editorial Ass.

About
Fall 2012: I’ve really enjoyed writing about book publicity and meeting (0nline and in person) writers, publicists, editors, agents and others in the publishing industry, but I’ve — reluctantly — come to the conclusion that I just don’t have the time to maintain this blog.
I imagine there is some information that will remain the same and that will remain useful, but there is much more that is or will become out of date, so please keep that in mind if you find yourself perusing my posts.

*****
For some time now, I’ve closely followed a lot of very informative sites about media and about the publishing industry. Since I find myself quite voluble at times about issues that pertain to my job in the publicity department at a large publishing house, I thought I’d set up a book publicity blog. The purpose of this blog is provide tips, primarily, but also information about publishing / marketing trends that will help book publicists — and hopefully others in media and publishing — do our jobs with greater ease and efficiency. Please note that the opinions expressed on this blog are my own, not those of my company.
I encourage you to subscribe to my feed in an RSS reader, but you can also receive a daily newsletter with content from this blog. See below for subscription options or for information about how to follow me on Twitter.
Happy pitching.
Yen
