Fascinating tales of publishing - I've been reading a lot of your lj entries today after recommendation from a friend.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to 'friend' your journal - I don't expect it back as your friend list must be huuuuge.
No, I don't mind being friended; if I had a strong need to fool myself into thinking that this was private control access, I would make it all friends only, or some subset there of, and then pretend that no one but the people on the friendslist can actually read any of it <wry g>.
But in way of an introduction, I used to work in bookselling (year part-time, year fulltime). Then I worked for Harlequin (editorial assistant, so small fry) for two years (in the UK, and I was one of the few people involved in LUNA at the time). Then my husband got a new job and we moved across the country (i.e. I had to leave Harlequin). So now I'm trying to write fantasy myself
That's a lot of book-related work! I've always wanted to work (for a few months, at any rate) as an editor or a non-sales related publishing person, because I've never done that part of the triangle.
Welcome aboard -- ask questions, make comments, throw in your own observations!
