    Today I had the bright idea of asking the Avon Editors what they were reading this summer. There were no parameters: these could be romances, not romances, Avon Books, books written by their sister's best friend and printed on colored Xerox paper. I just wanted to know what was up with everyone. So, here goes. Me (because it's all about moi!!) Right now I'm reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom [...]

    True story. Saturday night I was at a party and I got the right answer to this question: Who sang "Ballroom Blitz"? (Answer: below.)

And, since we're talking about Ballrooms, TODAY marks the Great Debut on a brand new blog! Six authors: Katharine Ashe, Sabrina Darby, Tessa D [...]

  • Why editors have Carpal Tunnel...

    By: Lucia Macro

    I often get asked about what I do all day. Sometimes when I meet people they think I am a proofreader, and they inevitably say something like, "Wow, you must be a really good speller!" Or they think I sit in a really great office, one with lots of windows and great views of the NY skyline. (Note: my office has windows and I look out onto a wall--see the photo in this post!) It is there that I make major deals and scare [...]

  • What if they had a wedding and nobody cared?

    Oh, Prince Albert of Monaco. Just when you thought things were looking a bit dim and grim for the Windsors (Fergie spilling her guts on on Oprah's network; Portly Prince Andrew cavorting in naked pool parties, and Prince Philip still being Philip) along comes the royal wedding of Monaco. But did anyone care? Oh sure, there were some diehards around the office who tuned in...where they could find it. But it's not as if we w [...]

    Avon, Eos and William Morrow set up shop in the Publisher's Alley area of ComicCon New York (Oct 8 - 10, 2010)...gotta say, it was the most fun we've had in a long time -- and we're still recovering!

And we were amazed to see our room [...]
