First Have Something to Say
The new book by Walt Crawford,
First Have Something to Say: Writing for the Library Profession
is due in June.
In First Have Something to Say, author Walt Crawford lends a personal perspective on writing for the library field. He covers all the forums for the writer: the refereed journals, magazines, library periodicals, books, electronic discussion lists, book reviews, blogs, and zines and also briefly addresses speaking. He addresses working with editors and covers the basics of copyright and other key clauses in contracts for writers. Crawford's approach to the topic is fitting. His informal, sometimes irreverent, tone is refreshing in a topic often taken too seriously.I just hope this 'blog is not used as an example of what not to do. Seen at Library Stuff.
