Sunday Links

Stories I read + stuff I liked.

This week is a little light with links because I am in the midst of a bunch of things. This is going to all subscribers so people can see one of the perks of upgrading to paid. Let’s dive in:

Publishing stories:

The Guardian has a story about authors hiring outside publicists and marketers. I don’t disagree. I receive a number of inquiries every week.

The Economist conducted their own investigation on The NY Times bestseller list. Is it biased? Read the story! Full disclosure: I spoke to the reporter on background for it.

LitHub argues that books should have full credit pages. I disagree. My name has been in the acknowledgements of countless books, and I’ve received threatening messages more than once. Sometimes anonymity is not a bad thing.

Stuff I Liked!

I’m obsessed with lemon prints. This J. Crew dress is lovely.

These linen shorts from Target are a steal at $20.

I love the jewelry from Bijoux & Spice. This necklace is gorgeous and nicely.

Saltair has great products. This body wash is divine…and only $13. Their candles are pretty great, too.

And finally, my favorite swimsuit this summer. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it.

Have a great day!
