Truffle-hunting

Over on ABBA today, with a truffle-hunting pig and Evernote. If you don't use Evernote, you should!

Why use the web when you can use a book?

Evolution, Hachette, 2014

Over on ABBA, a quick summary of my talk to the Hampshire school librarians on defending books to pupils and teachers keen to turn to the web.

At the other place: What are words worth?

Long absence... back in summer school and deadline trauma. But I have been over at ABBA writing about the ALCS report on authors' earnings. If you haven't read the report, you should. You don't need to read the media coverage, which is mostly rubbish, but do read the report.

Over at ABBA

Talking about the digital bits (and pieces) that have to be marshalled once you pick a book or series title.

Elsewhere

Today I'm over at Bart's Bookshelf talking about writing for reluctant readers, and at Awfully Big Blog Adventure talking to Mary Hoffman as part of ABBA's fantastic literary festival. ABBA have lots of posts from hoards of writers over the whole weekend, so go back there often!


And in the real world I'm at Kathryn Evan's farm in West Sussex having lots of fresh raspberries and fun! Have a lovely weekend, people.

Over there

Blogging over on Awfully Big Blog Adventure today, on how UK libraries are in danger of eroding goodwill amongst writers.

Playing away

I'm blogging over at ABBA about why I won't read Wolf Hall and about the new RLF lectorships. So no contract clause today - sorry.
