For Saturday's topic, I'm asking Novel Journey readers what news, online magazines, and newsletters they subscribe to. There are so many to choose from.
Here is what's on my list:
PW Daily: A daily update of happenings in the publishing world sent by Publisher's Weekly.
Religion BookLine: A weekly update for religious books (including CBA fiction) also sent by Publisher's weekly.
The Book Standard newsletter: A weekly update in book retail and more.
I subscribe to a number of author newsletters, including Randy Ingermanson's Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine, which is filled with goodies for both marketing and writing.
Infuze Magazine: a Christian worldview on books, movies and music.
TitleTrakk: a mix of books and music reviews and interviews.
I also subscribe to Google Alerts, which keep me informed of a topic I am interested in (it also kept me alerted when my authors of their book was mentioned on the web.)
As a publicist, I subscribed to yet more, but these are the ones I continue to keep up with.
What about you guys? How do you keep informed and what do you recommend?
I subscribe to all of these as well, except for The Book Standard newsletter. Do you have a link for that?
ReplyDeleteI also subsribe to Terry Whalin's Right-Writing newsletter. You can read back issues and subscribe here:

Great post and topic! Thanks, Jessica.
ReplyDeleteI subscribe to/read some of these, plus Christian Retailing, Terry Whalin's ezine, FHL's ezine, ACFW's ezine--Afictionado, The Writer, etc.
"Do you keep informed?" you ask.
Yes. I try to. There are so many aspects of novel writing, from the actual writing to getting them published to publicizing them to keeping up on the industry, etc.
Thanks, Jessica!
ReplyDeleteWhere are the two most watched Christian trades-Christian Retailing and Aspiring Retail?
ReplyDeleteBetween the ones you've mentioned and the commentors, all of mine are covered, except for a bunch of actual NEWS feeds, like Fox, and NewsMax.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have all the links, you should have put them in the post, so others could utilize them!
