Oh dear, this was a wee bit late. My apologies, an unexpectedly busy weekend interfered. This week's publishing news and industry blogs covers 8/20-9/5/2016. It's a bit light, as summer tends to be slow and some of the major sites I follow have been on vacation.
Publishing News
Publishers once again appeal the GSU e-reserves ruling.
Amazon announces plans to open another brick-and-mortar location.
Industry Blogs
Agent Kristin Nelson shares Story Openings to Avoid.
Agent Kristine Kathryn Rusch continues her Contracts/Dealbreakers series by looking at the agent clause in publisher agreements, things she considers dealbreakers in agent contracts, how to hire a lawyer, and a look at an actual contract, released due to a lawsuit, with a breakdown of the problems in it. (It is worth mentioning that Rusch is strongly against hiring agents and prefers hiring contract lawyers.)
On the Editor's blog, questions about writing in deep point-of-view are answered. No, if your protagonist wouldn't think in similes and metaphors, you can't get away with using them in deep POV.
A look at the current publishing industry in Hong Kong and China.
Also, because I missed most of last week, a few pictures for public domain:
