New in 2007/2008 Alright everyone, if you have not already done so, please update the book catalog through the website. We are gearing up to do a print run of new in 2007 flyers. Also, we would like to do an early printing of new in 2008 which means if you know that you are going to be published in 08, please fill out the catalog form sooner rather than later! New in 08 will probably be run sometime around American Thanksgiving or thereabouts. No firm date has been established for new in 08. New in 07 has a cut off of just another week or so.

Sad news Schelly Steelman died last Friday. We met up at every WisCon and stood outside talking and smoking. For those of you that were there at WisCon 30, if you went to the Broaduniverse party, she supplied the amazing cheeses from Washington DC. Her and I were just emailing earlier this week, arranging to have her new book, Blue Towers reviewed by the Broadsheet. Schelly was an amazing woman and she will be deeply missed. Current Mood:  sad | | Thursday, September 21st, 2006 | 12:00 pm

As you may or may not have heard, the next issue of the Broadsheet, the one that comes out in Jan/Feb is going to be a themed issue around women of color. So, let's talk. What are your book recs for the Read section? Does anyone have hot gossip? Anyone interested in contributing to it? Ideas?

BU Book Tables
They really are wonderful - both the opportunity to actually present your books to the con-going public, and the opportunity, while you take your turn at the table, to chat to passing people about your work, the work of your friends and colleagues, and life in general.
This is a very cool idea. Thanks to the organization for making it possible. | | Tuesday, June 20th, 2006 | 7:04 am
