What’s New with Blue Print Review

What’s in a word?
There are constantly new blogs popping up all over the web. Some have themes, while others are just about a person’s daily life. How does someone come up with an idea for a blog, exactly? For Nathalie Boisard-Beudin, an in-house lawyer for the European Space Agency, it all started with a word.

On Tour with “Paper House”
Going on a book tour is an important part of advertising your work. Since April, Jessie Carty, founding editor of Folded Word, has been on tour with her poetry collection Paper House, which was released March 30, 2010.

J.S. shops there and tells me the “atmosphere is fantastic.” On August 13, 2010 she will be representing Jessie Carty’s book, Paper House, at the store. I have corresponded with owner, James Van Eaton, for an interview. He is one busy man.
