For your perusal:

• In 1955 Robert Heinlein offered fellow writer Theodore Sturgeon a helping hand in the form of some story ideas. A fascinating read.
• Five lessons for authors and self-publishers from Neil Gaiman. Good points. The full video from which those points were extracted is also available for anyone interested.
• The following two articles are a bit old when measured in the rapidly evolving digital sphere, but I found them thought provoking. The first looks at the possibilities of Kickstarter for authors, the second looks at the down-side of ebooks. I could offer a counter-argument to both points, but I like the fact that they went outside the box.

Hope you find something of interest in that collection.
