February went by much too fast. I got a lot of reading done, but not as much as I expected. I was (and still am) on an urban fantasy kick. I’m finding that most of what I read is predictable and easy to skim, even series that I read all the way through. I’m not recommending most of it, sadly, because while it is giving […]
The Business Rusch: Writers: Will Work For Cheap
The Business Rusch: Writers: Will Work For Cheap Kristine Kathryn Rusch Here’s something that has nagged at me since the start of the indie publishing revolution: writers—published writers—dismissing money as a factor in publishing their work. The argument goes like this: Traditionally Published Writer A says she’ll never self-publish. When told that her $5000 advance is the only money she’ll make on that book, she […]
The Business Rusch: The Old Stone Path
The Business Rusch: The Old Stone Path Kristine Kathryn Rusch Once upon a time in a land not so far away, publishing made sense. Okay, it didn’t exactly make sense, but there was a set way to do things. For writers, it was pretty easy.

The Business Rusch: Agents (Surviving the Transition Part 3)
The Business Rusch: Agents (Surviving The Transition Part Three) Kristine Kathryn Rusch I had a dream, as recently as six months ago, that agents would help writers through this transition in publishing. I believed that agents would band together and fight to the death for the best possible terms in a contract for every writer. If agents had done that, the e-rights clauses I […]
Recommended Reading List: January 2011
Wow, am I late putting this up. I planned to do so during breaks last weekend, but there were no breaks. I barely had time to sleep. So here it is, the January Recommended Reading List. Despite travel and a convention—or maybe because of it—I got a lot of reading done during January. Much of the reading was short fiction, which I love, but had […]
December 2010 Recommended Reading List
I know, I know. I read the Christmas stories before Christmas, to prep myself for the season, but I’m telling you about them here. Ah, well. Buy the issues/books now and save the stories for next year…. As you can tell from the list, I went on a short story binge in December. For some reason I hadn’t read a lot of short fiction in […]
The Business Rusch: Those Pesky Bestselling Writers Again (Changing Times Part Ten)
The Business Rusch: Those Pesky Bestselling Writers Again (Changing Times Part Ten) Kristine Kathryn Rusch I finished the first draft of the book yesterday, my brain is made of Swiss cheese, and now I’m faced with this post. When I finish it, I’ll collapse on the couch and let visions of sugar plums dance in my head for a few days. Or I would, if […]
