spqrbluesThe have cannons and guns! The have holy books! The have machines that fly! But they don't have the printing press!
Maybe my work-in-progress will start a whole new SF/Fantasy movement, bigger than CyberPunk and SteamPunk. Might help if I finished it some day.
Applied for another publishing job this week. Assistant Editor for trade books, major publisher, located in NYC. Seems more on the clerical level, but a job (in books) is a job is a job. I should also look into a freelance editorial job lead I received last year that may be hiring again now, and should send around more requests for freelance copyediting and proofreading work. There may be some short-term tech-writing work in Dallas coming up, and am waiting to hear back on that. And short-term programming work in Austin. Many maybes. Always maybes.
I'm debating whether or not to document all the various publishing jobs I've applied for (was first concentrating on children's & YA books, then also on SF/F, now will apply for just about anything I am qualified to do, books or magazines or online or anything at all where I figuratively or literally get to brandish my blue pencils). On the one hand, it will be good to document the search. On the other, it will be embarrassing to make public how many jobs I've applied for with only one interview and two "We would have liked to have hired you but the position is already filled/Your resume is impressive but we hired someone with more experience." Oops, I just made it public.
I went to a tremendous book reading the other day. I'll try to report on that when I have a moment to myself. I may be some time. You could read the Calendar Girls review while you're waiting.
