Awesome resource: Literary Escapism

I have no idea how I’ve missed this blog/website before, but just in case any of you out there have also missed it, I’m passing it along. I stumbled along it thanks to Google Alerts.

You must check it out because it’s got some amazing resources including a monthly “newsletter” that lists paranormal/fantasy news and releases (lots and lots of great information here!), a page dedicated to upcoming release dates for different genres, and a series page that lists series in different genres as well as the first book in each series. The website owner writes in her latest newsletter that she welcomes any suggestions for additions to the series page.

Not only that, but she also lists different 2009 challenges, including one she’s hosting, reviews, interesting blog entries, weekly posts with that week’s releases and more! Go check it out.

    I’ll have to check that out. I don’t think I’ve been to that blog before.

    Haven’t seen it before and just added it to the list of blogs on my site. Thanks. You’re such a fountain of information. :smooch:

    Thank you for the awesome comments about Literary Escapism! I’ve tried making it an interesting site with lots of information and I am always looking for more ways to improve it. I’ve always figured, if I want to know about it, so will someone else.

    Something else that you might find interesting is the list of author websites (http://literaryescapism.com/info/auweb.html). I’m continuously adding to this as I find new authors or whenever I’m told of new ones.

About Me


Angela James

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!

Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.

Find Me Here

First, I blog once or twice a week at theCarina Press blog, talking about the job, the authors, the books and other things Carina Press. And, of course, you can always find me on Twitter. Or Facebook, if you prefer (mostly the same content, one feeds the other). I also run the Carina Press Twitter and Facebook accounts. Social media, it's where it's at (well, it's where I'm at, anyway).
