Phil Giunta - About This Writing Stuff...

...And we're back for a special End of Year edition of About This Writing Stuff.?? I hope you're all enjoying a wonderful holiday season.? I was fortunate to have 11 consecutive days off from the FT job and I have been putting that time to excellent use.? First,?I was invited back to contribute a short story to the second volume of a series that I'd worked on earlier this year.? More details to come on that.? Secondly, I am recording the audio version of my upcoming second novel, By Your Side, which is slated?to be released in March. So far, the holidays have been pleasant and relaxing.

During the hiatus, I've accumulated quite a few articles, so the below?list is?longer than usual.? Dean Wesley Smith concludes his four-part series from the New World of Publishing while Jeremy Greenfield makes predictions for digital publishing in the coming year.?? David Gaughran speaks out about the partnership between Simone & Schuster and Author Solutions.?? We get a double shot of?Guy Kawasaki and the topic of self-publishing.? Speaking of self-publishing, we celebrate 2012 as the year the indies made it to the top!?? Jami Gold offers advice on avoiding the info-dump, Jody Hedlund keeps up the tension, and Jacqueline Resnick finds the perfect writing spot.? Writers Digest and Writer Unboxed offer some further gems on the craft and Veronica Sicoe talks POV in SF!

Enjoy and see you next year!
