I’m still talking with three other writers, who I hope to rope in by the end of the week; that should bring the total count up to 30. (A brief side note: there are many, many other great writers online, many of whom I read regularly. To get to these thirty, we started with a list of nearly 100 sites, which was narrowed down by the book’s editorial panel. I really, totally, sincerely and completely hope nobody is offended by their name not appearing here; any such authors should simply write it off as my and the panel’s inability to recognize true genius even when it’s staring us in the face.)
At this point, I’m collecting a list of solid posts from each author, which the ed. panel will be narrowing down to the final assortment of pieces. So, if you read any of these sites regularly and care to recommend anything they’ve written that’s particularly stellar, I’d greatly appreciate your shooting me an email.
