Arthur Levine Books editor Cheryl Klein, a popular draw on the writing conference circuit, routinely posts transcripts of her lectures and handouts, which are filled with approachable, hands-on advice for everything from submissions to plotting and revision." Elizabeth Bunce

"To learn more about the publishing biz, I hit several editor blogs: Editorial Anonymous, Brooklyn Arden, and not for the faint of heart: Evil Editor. I also make daily visits to PubRants, my agent's blog." Brooke Taylor

"The Rejector is the blog of an anonymous assistant to a literary agent who is amusingly cranky and opinionated and usually has commonsensical things to say about the publishing world. And Writer Beware, the scam-hunting Better Business Bureau of the writing world." Marissa Doyle

"My agent, Kate Schafer Testerman, has a new blog called Ask Daphne, which I check regularly. It's particularly useful if you're trolling for an agent (which I'm not, obviously)--she answers questions and volunteers information about what agents like her are looking for and how to avoid turning them off (sort of a kinder, gentler Miss Snark). But she also offers news and opinions about industry buzz." Ellen Booraem

"Andrew Karre's blog for Flux. It's usually brief, thought-provoking, sometimes funny." Debbie Reed Fischer
