Andrew Kelly: Sue Lawson and sentences
http://andrewblackdog.blogspot.com/2011/06/sue-lawson-and-sentences.html
Saturday, June 11, 2011. Sue Lawson and sentences. I was talking to Sue Lawson in the office about this, that and the other, in the office, as you do in an editorial chat. It is always a delight when Sue comes down to visit the Gertrude Street office. We were talking about The Crucible and then drifted over to sentences and Stanley Fish's How to Write a Sentence and How to Read One. A Brief History of War with the Indians in New-England. What a superb sentence for justifying out and out theft! Sue Lawson...

Andrew Kelly: new flash - English improvements (thanks to Warwick Forge)
http://andrewblackdog.blogspot.com/2011/06/new-flash-english-improvements-thanks.html
Wednesday, June 15, 2011. New flash - English improvements (thanks to Warwick Forge). The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will. Be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English. Spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in. Plan that would become known as "Euro-English". There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the.

Andrew Kelly: October 2010
http://andrewblackdog.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Lots of enews this morning. A furore about Meanjin maybe going online - solely! Louise Adler said: " The ratio of what you print and what you publish onlline is a question that is changing for all of us. I don't want to be prescriptive.". Max Barry's novel Machine Man,which he published one page at a time on his website, is to be made into a Hollywood movie. A previous (print) novel of Barry's has been optioned but never filmed.

Andrew Kelly: August 2010
http://andrewblackdog.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. I've been looking at Neilsen Bookscan figures and one thing that is impressing me is how the YA writers I'm seeing around today (say at the Melbourne Writers Festival) have a longish publishing history and you can see their sales building from book to book, each release doing better than the other. It's commonsense but it reassuring seeing it writ in the figures. Andrew's red dog blog. Saturday, August 28, 2010. Pricing ebooks and other formats. The Kobo scenario looks good pric...

Andrew Kelly: "Inside the Story"
http://andrewblackdog.blogspot.com/2011/06/inside-story.html
Saturday, June 11, 2011. It was a pleasure to go down to Frankston to talk to the Chisholm Writing and Professional Publishing Students. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. (I heard from the lovely Shirley Marr. That Mr Billington had enjoyed the talk.) It was fun to be in a dark smoky bar in the middle of the day - much better than any formal lecture theatre. Thanks to Julie Richards for inviting me. (I would also like to thank Shirley Marr. For self-publishing on the kindle platform. And if I did ...

Andrew Kelly: May 2010
http://andrewblackdog.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Ink48 and Comic Sans. I'm staying at Ink48 Hotel in New York. It's new but it was once a printing factory. The meeting rooms are named after fonts: Helvetica, Garamond, and Courier. But no Comic Sans? Andrew's red dog blog. Thursday, May 13, 2010. Rejection is hard II. Sometimes we want to publish a script and the author rejects us. The rejection boot is then on the other foot to what it usually is. Andrew's red dog blog. Wednesday, May 12, 2010. IiNet was not held responsible in...
