Who's Moving Where, Conferences, and Other Updates

I'm back and I've got lots of updates on the Who's Moving Where page--15 in all this time! These include some new imprints and very interesting moves by Stacey Barney and Tiffany Liao.

I'm also pleased to tell you that this year's Revision Retreat at Highlights is now open for registration (with weekly online class sessions in August and the Retreat itself in late September). Like last year, we are offering it online, including the Retreat (in a structure we set up last year that worked very well), but this year there's an option to retreat AT Highlights. There is also still room in the Crash Course in Children's Book Publishing, which starts June 9, though you can join after that if you want. These and a fall session of the Crash Course are listed on my updated Conferences page.

I've also added a new page to my Publishing articles index. You may have heard about the Authors Guild's new "Model Trade Book Contract." This is a highly useful resource, and I've put up a page about it, with my comments and links to the contract itself and their press release about it. I'd love to hear any experiences you have had with using the new model contract, by the way. If I get comments I can share, I may add them to the page about the model contract.

Finally, I want to remind you about Harold's Book Lists at Bookshop. I have been adding links Bookshop around the site, and I've been surprised by how little they have been used. So I'll explain that you can go right past the books in my lists, once you get to Bookshop. I'll still get credit for any purchases you make on that visit. Thanks!
