So where have I been the last year and why am I calling it quits now? Simply, I'm extremely busy. I have a growing business and a growing family, and as a result I just don't seem to have the time anymore to keep this blog updated. Too, because my blogging colleagues (listed to the left) do an absolutely wonderful job providing tips and information on the publishing business, I've felt that readers of this blog are in good hands.
Of course, you likely inferred my departure from blogging from my lack of posts over the past year, but this makes it official. I'll continue to keep the site up so you can look through the archives, and you can always email me with questions and I'll try to respond if I have the time. I also plan to write about publishing for various print and online publications from time to time, and I may even open a Twitter account if I get around to it.
My thanks to all of you who have read and commented herein, and I wish you all the best of success in your publishing endeavors.
