Writing fiction is the hardest thing I've tried to be good at. Plus, I lost about two hours of my co-editor's work today due to a coding error. The edits after were... humbling. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Language; Literature; Writing Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:04:44 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6162 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6161 Josh, I expect more of you. You should write the book that is getting the glowing blurbs. lizinthelibrary@idkfa.com (lizinthelibrary) Language; Literature; Writing Fri, 21 Mar 2014 01:26:39 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6161 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6157 I can only hope to be blurbed some day. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Language; Literature; Writing Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:08:37 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6157 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6156 Not anonymously, I just don't link them on twitter because too many authors have twitter alerts and respond to every mention of their book ever. And I've heard horror stories from other reviewers. I get blurbed as the magazine and not as me because my name doesn't really have cachet with readers. If you look at the "editorial reviews" listings on amazon pages, I pop up. I write for School Library Journal and then my name is at the end of the review. Example: http://www.amazon.com/Byrd-Igloo-A-Polar-Adventure/dp/0545562767/ lizinthelibrary@idkfa.com (lizinthelibrary) Language; Literature; Writing Thu, 20 Mar 2014 16:54:45 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6156 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6154 Congrats, that is pretty awesome!

Also, congratulations! kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Language; Literature; Writing Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:17:31 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6153 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6152 I have started reviewing books for a magazine and for a well respected graphic novel website. It's fun, but I don't talk about it much on twitter or online because I don't want to invite the wrath (or commentary in general) of authors. However today I saw one of my reviews blurbed on a book (though not as me, but as the magazine). That was cool! lizinthelibrary@idkfa.com (lizinthelibrary) Language; Literature; Writing Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:53:47 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6152&msg_id=6152
