You would think they could have a King-Cat themed party. I’m pretty sure that’s the same Hoffman Estates that John Porcellino grew up in.

Hello!

Nice site - you show some great interest in Jim Henson and his work. I thought you'd be interested to know "The Cube," one of his early directorial forays into scifi, is now available for download on iTunes.

This experimental film depicts a man who finds himself in a white cubical room and has no idea how he got there. Although anyone can enter the cube, the man cannot leave. Panels in the cube open temporarily to admit various visitors, some of whom seem to know the man or want to offer advice.

Add the link to “The Cube” to your site to let others know:

Great post!And it makes total sense that an author would be a brand. I know that when it comes to doing any type of shopping whether it’s for a book or a new suit, I look at who the writer or designer is. I know as the consumer what I most likely can expect from that particular artist. For instance, Chadwick’s suits do not have princess seams. Hate them. Cheap and thrown together. Don't

Great info, thanks!Incidentally, The Blue Rose Girls have an interesting post (on Saturday, March 1st spot) on how one agency has a "No Whining" rule for its authors.It explains how authors shouldn't expect a publisher to do anything other than edit, copyedit, and get a decent cover for their book. It's an interesting persepective concerning all the complaining posts (mine included) in the

Actually, there are two additional items listed on the Blue Rose Girls' agent's list: putting the book in the catalog (and these days that means also on the publisher's Web site) and selling it through their regular distribution channels. I think this IS what publishers consider marketing (in the interest of full disclosure, I'll note that I was a marketing director for 10 years but am no longer

>in fact, we were doing more, but expectations seemed to have exploded.<Anonymous, I'll venture a guess that the "explosion" occured around the same time as the "celeb" books got so prolific?With the celeb's trucking their new book around and appearing on spots like "the Today Show" the "View" etc etc. Before this, I don't think the general public had ever heard of books, other then through

Hi Christine! I am anonymous 11:05, and yes, I think those expectations did explode around that time. My house was not one of those that published celebrities, so I personally wasn't affected by celebrity needs (thank goodness), but I think other authors witnessed that kind of treatment and understandably wondered why they didn't get it, when their books were clearly superior! I remember when
