The <a href="http://jwikert.typepad.com/the_average_joe/">resulting blog by Joe Wikert</a> has been most impressive over the past year. I saw he linked to <a href="http://spaces.msn.com/jaldous/blog/">Juliana Aldous at Microsoft</a>. She gave me a lot of advice before I started working on the book and I don&#8217;t know how I missed her blog for so long. It&#8217;s good too. What do these blogs do? They give you a place to start a relationship as an author. Get tips. Learn about how they see the industry. And, if you have an idea for a book you now have two people to talk with.</p>
<p>Any other great book publishers blogging out there? Here&#8217;s another one: <a href="http://www.michaelhyatt.com/workingsmart/">Michael Hyatt</a>, CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers. How about <a href="http://tim.oreilly.com/">Tim O&#8217;Reilly</a>? <a href="http://blogs.apress.com/?author=4">Gary Cornell</a> of APress? Who is your favorite book publishing blogger?</p>
