Author Support Group discussion

Hey, guys. I don't know if you've been following any of the uproar over the Publisher's Weekly list of Top Ten Novels of 2009 and the fact that all ten books were written by men.

While I'm not overly upset by this -- it is what it is -- I've teamed up with some friends and we'll be starting a new book meme at my new blog, Rocks and Reads.

We're calling it Women on Wednesday. The idea is to feature a woman author, or a book written by a woman author. My aim is more to increase awareness of what's available than to get books added to any list -- and with increased awareness will hopefully come increased sales.

I'm hoping you'll come join us. We start this Wednesday, November 18.

Great idea, Susan! Thanks for letting us know. :o)

I hope you'll play along. Like all grass-roots efforts and memes, it's dependent on people joining in.

I'm going to try. I have a lot on my plate right now but I really like this idea.
