I stumbled on some good ones this week. I think the hardest part is narrowing down all the things I’ve read to just 3 links. Maybe I should start adding more? I suppose we shall see!

Nathan Bransford

He wrote this week about the future of publishing. With the rise of e-books and audio books, what will happen in the printing world? He also wonders if people will still need agents and publishers. I think some will still want them for their marketing expertise. If anything, I think this is one of those times agent’s need to evolve, not writers. We write books, and most of us want professionals to sell them. That hasn’t changed.

Brandon Sanderson

This man is about to become the next big thing, if he’s not already. With the Wheel of Time a little over a month away, it seems very likely Sanderson will soon become a #1 bestseller. But what would it be like to be asked to finish your mentor’s greatest work? It sounds great, but I can’t even begin to imagine how much pressure he feels. He wrote about some of his struggles with it this week. You can scour old blog posts to see more of his struggles.

I Want My America Back

This is a touching post about racism. Since I live in Texas, racism is, unfortunately, nothing new to me. But the author of this post was just about the opposite. At a Town Hall meeting she had her first personal encounter with it. I think it’s worth reading. Thanks go to CrissWrites for pointing this one out to me.

Anybody else find some interesting posts they want to share?
