			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each week I&#8217;m going to do a roundup post with the week&#8217;s news, any particularly popular posts on this blog, and links to any articles I&#8217;ve written elsewhere. To me, this is a cleaner way of presenting relevant information, rather than posting a short post or four every day with newsworthy items.</p>
<p>CNN had some great coverage on web and <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/04/06/print.on.demand.publishing/index.html" target="_blank">Print on Demand publishing</a>.</p>
<p>The Guardian covered the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2009/apr/06/twitter-wars-writers-agents" target="_blank">#queryfail and #agentfail extravaganzas</a>, and the comments section brought out a lot of great information on self publishing.</p>
<p>My suggestion for one of the best writing how-to books, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/158297392X/?tag=camchaonwri-20">Between the Lines</a> by Jessica Morrell, was featured on Editor Unleashed in their &#8220;<a href="http://editorunleashed.com/2009/04/08/the-10-best-books-for-writers/">The 10 Best Books for Writers</a>&#8221; post (it&#8217;s the 4th one down). Other books on the list include Stephen King&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0743455967/?tag=camchaonwri-20">On Writing</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/158297294X/?tag=camchaonwri-20">Plot &amp; Structure</a> by James Scott Bell, both of which I also own.</p>
<p>Writing Forward had a couple of excellent articles this week: <a href="http://www.writingforward.com/writing-tips/writing-on-the-go" target="_blank">Writing on the Go</a> and <a href="http://www.writingforward.com/creative-writing/poetry-writing/how-poetry-writing-improves-all-other-writing" target="_blank">How Poetry Writing Improves All Other Writing</a>. I wrote poetry in high school and at this point I&#8217;m glad I lost all those notebooks (or burned them&#8230;whatever).</p>
<p>Nathan Bransford has a great rundown of <a href="http://nathanbransford.blogspot.com/2009/04/this-week-in-publishing_09.html" target="_blank">other publishing news for the week</a>, as he does every week.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t exaclty news this week, since it was published last August, but it&#8217;s still worth reading. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/organgrinder/2008/aug/04/novelistpaulcoelhofindsthe" target="_blank">Novelist Paulo Coelho finds the perfect alchemy of print &amp; digital</a> from the Guardian talks about how using the Internet and even releasing books for free online boosts sales. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/organgrinder/2008/aug/04/novelistpaulcoelhofindsthe" target="_blank"><br />
