Hi Everyone,

I’m just back from a week in New York, partly for BookExpo America (BEA) and partly to visit editors at the major houses.

Watch for some major new features on Authorlink by the end of the summer. All eyes in the publishing industry will be on Authorlink then. And you’ll be among the first to know why.
