Odd Publishing News
Feb. 22nd, 2007 08:33 pmChecked my website stats tonight and apparently someone got there after googling "summary of Playing the Dozens by Leah Bobet".
This is sort of baffling. I mean, not the part where it's a 2000-odd word story -- I'm now intensely curious what someone wanted a summary of a nearly five-year-old story for. Usually when people google for summaries it's 'cause they don't want to read for class...is it being taught in some high school somewhere and people don't want to do their homework?
I burn to know.
Also, it seems I am marginally in the current issue of On Spec. My name's on the cover, but no story inside: I expect it was a design oopsie or converting text from an old cover. I get pub credits without even having to write the fiction now! Cool!
(As you can tell, I'm sort of tickled by this.)
Publishing, as they say, it is weird.
