The New York Times Book Review
You just have to read it every week, even if it’s painful.
A refreshingly different book review. A bit lighter on preachy politics, a bit heavier on quirky and art-related books
A bit of an agenda on saving the world, but what are you gonna do?
T.C. BoyleA great site of a writer I admire. I once heard him read in St Paul and had to laugh that he gave the audience tips on reference books for writing about hippies (for his novel Drop City) and I wanted to shout out: I was there! But I let the impulse pass.
Still, even with stumbles, one of my favorite authors. I once met him at a book signing in Minneapolis and told him I saw the adaptation of his film, The Cement Garden. He said, “Really? I think you’re the only one.”
New publishing house by my old writing instructor and mentor, Ian Leask (author of The Wounded).
Great writer, editor, coach and friend
Southampton Writers Conference
I’m not big on these conferences, but I attended this one in 2005 and won the award for fiction. My teacher was Melissa Bank (The Wonder Spot, The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing) who was very funny and informative.
