I adore Google alert. Look! Your name is somewhere! Maybe I’m a narcissist. Maybe I should go kiss my biceps in the mirror.

I just tried but I can’t find them.

So back to writing for accolades. Part 2 of my “How To Get a Book Deal” series is up today at Write to Done and features interviews with:

• Chris Guillebeau (The Art of Nonconformity)
• Leo Babauta (Zen Habits, The Power of Less)
• the *hopefully* very forgiving Erin Doland (The Unclutterer, Unclutter Your Life in One Week)

(I didn’t get the title of Erin’s book right in the first version of the piece. EEEEEK. Mortified. Lesson learned: do not fact-check your own pieces and do NOT ever hire me as a fact-checker. In fact, I think I need a fact-checker. A free one. I can pay in gratitude. How’s that for a job advert?)

PPS – If you’re interested in the publishing game, then you’re in luck because storyfix is running a month-long series on getting published.

And let me tell you something about storyfix: if you’re a writer, you’ll probably like it, a LOT. It is about writing, the racket/craft, and written like an intellectual whodunnit gone good conversation. Larry Brooks has style. He also gives GREAT e-mail – so good that I was compelled to proposition him by reply e-mail. He declined. Hi Larry’s wife.
