  • The striking woman in the photo above is Marie NiDiaye, the first black woman to win France's top literary prize, the Prix Goncourt. (thanks Raquel! photo from LAT)
  • Spooky new story by Kelly Link. I haven't read it yet, but I love her so I will print this story out to read on the subway.
  • Y'all know how I feel about NaNo, but if you cough up a novel this month, FastPencil will give you a free printed and bound copy of your novel.
  • Steve Elliot is everywhere! Here he is talking about his book tour. And here is a piece in the LAT with a cool photo.
  • Speaking of cool photos, I love this one of Sapphire and I also like what Renee has to say.
  • If you finished your MFA (fiction)in the last five years, you need to apply for this fellowship.

  • Dystel and Goderich (my agents) are starting a new advice column. You can email your questions.
  • This is such a pretty book. I am going to buy it eventhough I don't have any kids.
