Over at Fictionaut's Blog, they have started a new series featuring places where writers write. The lovely Lauren Cerand is the most recent writer to be featured.
Speaking of Lauren, you can see her talk and many other publishing professionals/authors over at Book Expo America's Blip website. Lots of good stuff there, including a conversation between Richard Russo, John Irving, and Charles McGrath. I was lucky enough to see part of this live while I was at the Javits Center.
A very creative new project called Significant Objects pairs writers with objects. The writer comes up with a story influenced by the object. (via Bookslut).
Laird Hunt has a playlist up over at the Paper Cuts NYT blog.
