Wow! Has it really been 3 years already? Yep, today marks the day back in 2008 when I decided to start a review blog for Lulu.com authors. And look how we’ve grown in such a short time.

With the release of a new newsletter this past week, Amazon DTP (Digital Text Publishing) changed its name to KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) which is a good move on Amazon’s part and brands their online publishing program. I did always think DTP led to the possibility that maybe we’d be able to do something else here outside of Kindle one day. And here’s the intro from telling how the newsletter came about:

OnlineCollege.org posted their 10 biggest predictions for the future of book publishing yesterday on their Online College Blog. After looking over the list myself, I agree with all ten of them and probably would have predicted most of them myself. They are pretty safe predictions because they are trends we’ve already been seeing just in the last three years since LLBR started. It’s very safe to assume these trends will only grow. What are your predictions for the future of publishing?

Welcome to National Novel Writing Month 2010, where writers nationwide ban together and attempt to write a full length novel in thirty days, a feat I abandoned somewhere around Day 21 last year.

This past weekend while out of town visiting family in Tennessee, I learned about the death of an old friend. Bookstar, a landmark where my publishing roots started and where I first started working in books, is closing its doors December 31st of this year. Bookstar was bought out by B&N in the early 90s. It may not look like a B&N on the outside based on the picture, but you definitely knew it when you stepped inside.
