January 1, 2009 Links and Plugs

I'd better start practicing writing 2009...

• Cecilia Brainard is asking for donations to help defray the costs of Growing Up Filipino II.
  
• Galleycat has a series of The Year in Publishing summations.
• Jeff Vandermeer's Year End Writing-Related Thoughts.
• Terry Pratchett is knighted.
• Over at Black Gate, Theo has a blog entry on To Crit or Not to Crit. Judith Berman, on the other hand, talks about the realism/fantasy relationship.
• An interview with Sue Lange on e-publishing.
• George R. R. Martin is selling his Tuf Voyaing book.

Start off 2009 with a Datlow anthology:

Poe: 19 New Tales Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe edited by Ellen Datlow
