From Saturday's Guardian review, a publisher outlines her difficulties in trying to give new, undiscovered writers a chance to be published by her. It's a valuable insight into the thinking behind book publishing, as this is a woman who sincerely wants to help new writers get published. Read the full article, and [pay attention especially to the chunk I've extracted below:

Donald Rumsfeld is giving George Bush his daily briefing.

He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

I liked your idea/ending for this, Megan!

"... his headboard was hairy like a hyena and coarse if you stroked it the wrong way. Sometimes it got a bit unruly and tried to eat him when he wasn't looking..."
A very unusual story which gets steadily more absorbing.
Well worth a look - probably not by the Megan I was expecting :o)
