Most Popular Posts of 2011

Thank you readers! I’m quite pleased with the reception my blog has received during its first seven months and logged nearly 4,000 visitors. We’ve seen traffic steadily increase since we launched in May, 2011 as well, as we are looking forward to a very productive 2012 as we continue to comment on the changing nature of book publishing with a focus on new authors and writers.
