I did an interview a bit ago with Jim Harrington, who published the Six Questions For… blog. He interviews various publishers and editors, and as the name suggests, asks them six questions.

Hey all,
Just a quick note that I am doing a giveaway with Goodreads – I will be giving away two copies of Air in the Paragraph Line #13.
To enter, go to the book’s page at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7788099-air-in-the-paragraph-line-13 and hunt for the button that says “Enter to win”.
I am assuming you need to be a goodreads member to win, which does not cost anything. They randomly select two winners from the total number of entries received by March 26th. You have to be in the US to win. (Suck on it, Canadians and your crazy sweepstakes-related legislation.)
And while you’re on that page, it would be a good time to write a review if you’ve already seen the book, or maybe browse other works by contributing authors, or suggest the book to your other goodreads friends. And if you have no friends on goodreads, go ahead and add me, and I will pretend to be your friend. (Especially if I need to borrow money, which I will soon, given the current climate of the publishing world.)
Hey all,
Ben Mack, one of the authors in Air in the Paragraph Line #13 and an all-around marketing genius, has set up something cool for us. We will be having a chat with several of the AITPL 13 writers on a new-fangled web seminar. You can listen in (either live or listen to the archive later) at the following URL:
http://attendthisevent.com/?eventid=11623593
This will happen on Thursday, March 4th, starting at 11PM Eastern time (i.e. 8PM Pacific.) You can also go back and listen to it afterward.
We’re still confirming which authors will be there, but we will talk about our stories, our experiences with the zine, and all about publishing and how much we hate Dan Brown and Judith Regan.
I’ll post another link later for the recast, but please check it out!
[Note: this is part 1 of 8 of the complete text for John Sheppard's book Tales of the Peacetime Army. To start reading at the beginning and for a full list of all parts, please go to the table of contents.
And if you like the story, please visit the book's page and consider buying a copy!]
I had an unimportant job in the food service industry and an unimportant college career, both lazily going nowhere. Maybe I should have fallen in love with someone. That would have made everything seem more important, I suppose.
My academic advisor called me into her dust-mote speckled office in a creaky, one-hundred-year-old building on a late-Spring day and informed me that I wasn’t doing as well as she expected. I was ten semester hours shy of a bachelor’s degree in philosophy. I stared out her office window. The sky was blue and drizzled with vapor trails from passing jumbo jets. “Have you been listening?” she asked me. She was self-important in a fussy way. Continue Reading »
We’ve had a MySpace page for Air in the Paragraph Line for a while now, but it appears that MySpace has all but died, and everyone uses Facebook these days. S0 I’ve created a Facebook fan page for Air in the Paragraph Line. Right now, it just mirrors these blog posts, but it seems like people seem to dig reading stuff in one place, so there you go.
Check out the page at the following long and unwieldy URL: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Air-in-the-Paragraph-Line-zine/224538232460
