GalleyCat has an excellent directory of Women in Publishing; add your own fave WIP in the comments.
In the WSJ blogs, Cathy Yan has an intro the Hong Kong International Literary Festival, with founder Nury Vittachi’s guide to what to watch. (I’ll be keeping an eye out for video clips over the coming week.)
On Out of the Box, the Horn Book blog, Elizabeth Parks has a quick blurb on Mean Girls wannabe, The Lipstick Laws.
