I’ll add relevant resources as they become available or apparent as useful – it’s a work in progress, grasshoppers.

• Jane Friedman, whose blog I recommend highly, has compiled an infographic of the 5 key book publishing paths available to authors today. Jane is happy to share her infographic with everyone, so here’s a link to the pdf: 5 Key Book Publishing Paths
• Maria Popova runs Brain Pickings, an excellent creative, cultural, historical, and many-splendoured resource, tirelessly maintained by the estimable Ms Popova.
• TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) – the site that provides all kinds of inspiration and information about a seemingly inexhaustible range of topics. You could spend the rest of your life there watching and listening.
