The best of what I shared on Twitter and Tumblr this week…

-Agent (and author) Mandy Hubbard shares a peek inside an agent’s life on a trip to meet with editors in New York.

-Author Sara Bennett Wealer on getting and listening to critical feedback.

-Some insightful thoughts on how to know if it’s time to give up on a dream.

-Author Saundra Mitchell on why the problem of getting boys interested in reading is not about the books.

-On a different but most likely related note, author Catherynne M. Valente on the unequal balance of power between male and female voices in the writing community.
