Friday Link Love 5/21

May 21 2010

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of appearing as a guest on Cyrus Webb’s Conversations LIVE! radio show. It was a panel discussion of the business of books. You can still listen to the podcast The Business of Books. The panel also included 2 authors and 2 book publishers. A great hour-long discussion and worth your time to listen to, especially if you’re a writer looking to get published.

I’m going to leave it at that so you can enjoy the links for this week. As always, have a happy and safe weekend!

  1. Brad, it was great to talk with you again on the radio program. Thanks for the important insight you brought to the discussion: not just as an author and blogger, but an avid reader as well.

    Continued success to you, my friend.
