PUBLISHING PROFESSIONALS' OPINIONS ON HOW TO RESPOND TO THE NEGATIVE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN OUR INDUSTRY

Just letting you all know that I have been updating my Dec. 4th KEEP WRITING post with more publishing professionals' opinions on how to respond to the negative economic situation in our industry. As I find more posts/interviews/etc. I will add them to KEEP WRITING.

I think a positive attitude is the only way to approach dire times. What's the alternative?

We are writers/illustrators/editors/agents. That's who we are and that's who we will continue to be. Right now the timing is, well.....not good. But with time, timing changes:)

And now I am off to write, revise and revise some more.

Jill,
I agree. And I love the line "with time, timing changes."

So true!

Thanks for the positive energy.

I'm still writing and revising everyday (not that I could really stop writing if I tried!!)

True, true, true! And the weird thing is that book sales for YA and MG is UP, not down! I read once eons ago that during the Great Depression, book sales were good. A cheap form of entertainment, I guess, which is pretty interesting actually. I've personally bought more books in hardcover - well, more books period - the last two years than ever before.
