Christmas Day
Merry Christmas!
What Do People Do?
Many Canadians have a day off work on December 25 and many spend the day with close relatives or friends.

Submit Early, Submit Often by Walter Rhein
Let’s face it, it’s always a buyer’s market in the writing world. As authors, we are constantly on the lookout for new publishing opportunities, but the markets we approach rarely reserve much courtesy for writers. Some publishers act like once you send them a manuscript it should be theirs until they deign to send you a rejection. That’s fine for the responsible ones that get back to you in a week or two, but for the guys who don’t acknowledge a query for six months to a year, it makes the potential of ever getting published almost impossible. To be fair, there are some publishers out there that encourage you to send out your work early and often, but those are the exception rather than the rule.

Constance: One Road to Take: The Life and Photography of Constance Stuart Larrabee (1914–2000) by Peter Elliott (Book Review #515)
Constance is not so much of a biography but an attempt to display Constance Stuart Larrabee’s life into perspective using her photography. The attempt is to gain more of an understanding of her work and allowing the reader into her personal life, past and present.
