How to use this Page

This GalleyCat editor is about to have a new baby. I’ll be taking for a couple of months to adjust to life with a newborn and a toddler.

During this break, the site will be in the capable hands of GalleyCat contributors Maryann Yin and Claire Davis. Email them with any story ideas or releases.

I will return later this fall, just as things get exciting with holiday book releases and The National Book Awards!

New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.

Hiya, GalleyCats—it’s Claire Daniel, your newest GalleyCat correspondent. Some of you NYU publishing people might know me (class of ’09), or maybe I’ve worked with you on the PR side of books through my day job. Either way, I’m excited to start posting.

Lately I’ve been blasting through George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice, but before I got hooked on White Walkers and imps my last reads were Jerry Stahl’s Bad Sex on Speed, Rebecca Solnit’s The Faraway Nearby, and Mitchell Kriegman’s forthcoming Being Audrey Hepburn. Happiness is a good book in a hot tub.

If you have any news tips, ideas or thoughts about the book publishing industry (especially digital), please email me.

New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.

This afternoon, GalleyCat joined Bloomberg News book review editor Laurie Muchnick, Library Journal book review editor Heather McCormack, and Publishers Weekly children’s book editor Diane Roback on the Book Reviewer Panel for the Young to Publishing Group. We wanted to follow up with some helpful links for all authors, publicists, and publishing folk contacting GalleyCat.

Kate Childs (the executive assistant to the president & publisher of Random House Publishing Group) tweeted the entire event and took the picture embedded above and the panel was moderated by Newmarket Press sales & marketing coordinator Haley Pierson-Cox.

Most importantly, we urged everybody to use GalleyCat’s “New Books” page on Facebook. We use this page to create our Coming Attractions features and organize our book review coverage.  Want to include your book? Just follow the easy directions on our Facebook Your New or Upcoming Book post.

We also stressed GalleyCat’s constant push for inclusiveness, from to sponsoring the Book Pitch Party next month to our new book  giveaway contests to our massive Book Reviewers on Twitter list–we hope to keep the GalleyCat community growing.
