Has the world gone stark raving mad?  Quite possibly.  First example: Peter discusses how Northern Illinois University Press launches a new imprint, Switchgrass Books, that refuses to consider submissions from agents.  Second example: in today’s Write Report, Donna reports on the 600 page t-shirt book (really).  And publishers from Australia, Canada and New Zealand band together to challenge the US/UK as the dominant English language market (not going to happen, guys). In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, we’re finally restored to sanity - Eve’s discovered a rather splendid website dedicated to professional law enforcement - great for authentic, gritty detail.
