Lori Perkins posted her take on the current trends in the publishing industry that gives a context for the latest news of freezes and lay-offs. It’s a good read. As in every other industry in this current economy, it’s time to tighten our belts.
Nathan Bransford’s Week in Publishing recap was a particularly fun read this week with the wonderful reminder (that other industry blogs seemed to forget) that publishers are still buying books.
ETA: Thanks Todd for pointing out the broken link.

If I may, here’s a tiny fix to your link over to Lori’s blog: http://agentinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2008_11_30_archive.html#5527547087107195142
I’m with you, Lori & Nathan. In times of big change & upheaval, it can be therapeutic to take stock of the positive elements that still exist and that may come as a result.
