Starting Write Now

I have a new gig on Fridays; I'm blogging at Starting Write Now, a group of five unpublished writers who are sharing their thoughts and journey down the writing world.

Today is my first post and should be an introduction. However, this bomb was dropped on the writing community yesterday.

The new contract would allow Simon & Schuster to consider a book in print, and under its exclusive control, so long as it's available in any form, including through its own in-house database -- even if no copies are available to be ordered by traditional bookstores.

More more detail, head over to my post at Starting Write Now (and check out the other guys too. They are worth the read.)
