I recently read Ariel Gore's How to become a famous writer before you're dead, and it lit a fire under my ass. Though many of the things she talked about in the book I was already familiar with, there were a few useful things I didn't know, as well as some helpful links. One in particular is No media Kings, a gem of a site run by Jim Munroe, "a novelist who left HarperCollins to showcase and propagate indie press alternatives to Rupert Murdoch-style consolidation." It's a must for any DIY enthusiast! The site includes DIY book making, movie making, promotion, grant writing etc... I advise everyone to check it out!
On a side note, with Brian Fugett pulling the plug on all things Zygote In My Coffee (a sad, sad day indeed) I am looking for any press that would be willing to pick up Through These Eyes and make it into a second edition. On the other hand, after perusing No Media Kings, I may just put it out myself!
