Words from the staff at Scarletta: Why Don't People Go on Book Diets? What Would It Mean If They Did?
http://scarlettapress.blogspot.com/2013/12/why-dont-people-go-on-book-diets-what.html
Dec 5, 2013. Why Don't People Go on Book Diets? What Would It Mean If They Did? The literary world is full of terms like "devour" or "consume" used to describe how one reads a book. Even the term "bookworm" finds it's roots in the tradition of referring to any insect that may chew through books as "worms" even though damage is typically caused by the Common Paper Louse (Don't google that if you don't like bugs. Or really, even if you do. It's just no fun). Nothing but children's books, without any trace ...

Jul 31, 2013. 30 Day Challenge: Day 11. Day 11: A Book You Hated. I have a lot of respect for authors. To pick a book that I hated? That seems a little pointed, a little extreme, a little violent.

The most distinctive one that comes to mind is Vineland. I really wanted to like Pynchon's writing style as a professor of mine described him...

May 21, 2013. The Importance of (Consistently) Being Earnest and Other Thoughts on Characters in Children's Books. Recently, I was asked to respond to some interview questions for the publication Childrens Writer. . Characterization is something that we are constantly concerned with here at the editorial desk. Who is this character? What would they do in this situation? Do I care what his/her/their experience is? Why did they react that way? Ask away on Twitter! Links to this post. May 8, 2013.

Mar 21, 2014. Monster Needs to Stay Awake for His Book Trailer! As technology and media continue to change, so does our ability to utilize our creative outlets in fun and interesting ways. One of the coolest trends to jump out of the publishing industry over the last few years has been the book trailer. Feature films shouldn't have all the fun, right? At first, the concept seemed like kind of a snooze to me. A trailer? The biggest reason to use a book trailer? Getting your book in to more hands? SEUSS AW...
