Publishing & Literary News
Written by Felicia Pride   
Wednesday, 26 March 2008

During my book publishing seminars (I have one approaching on April 1st in DC), I tell aspiring authors that a great way to get noticed by agents/editors is to start a great topical blog.

Don't believe me? See this from Publishers Lunch:

Blogger Christian Lander's STUFF WHITE PEOPLE LIKE, a 'study' of upper-middle-class white people, satirically exposing a culture that prides itself on individuality and diversity, yet manages to express these beliefs in exactly the same way (white people: Whole Foods, Wes Anderson, Starbucks, graduate school, kitchen gadgets, Barack Obama, Apple products, the movie Juno, expensive sandwiches, etc.), promising two-thirds new material, to Jane von Mehren at Random House Trade Paperbacks, with Jill Schwartzman editing, by Erin Malone at the William Morris Agency (NA).

Check out the blog at http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/.

  I haven't read the novel mentioned. I'm a writer who is interested in getting my novel published. Please direct me as to how I can make the proper connection.
