News Alert

Hi Everyone,

Among the most important headlines this week for our writers is that a new literary agency is opening in New York, headed by a former Macmillan children’s editor. I’ll be at BookExpo May 31-June 6 and will be doing video interviews with New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci and actor Bruce Dern. Watch for these pieces to appear on Authorlink in late June.

Cheers,
Doris
