Morning Coffee – 29 March 2021
Here are a few stories to read this Monday morning.
- My April Fool’s Day joke is coming along nicely.
- Speaking of jokes, a woman is relieved she no longer has to support a closed bookstore.
- Judging by the title of this podcast, the Alliance for Independent Authors now belongs to the Fox News school of journalism.
- Paper Mills (what’s known as ghostwriting in book publishing) has spread from students to include scientific professionals.
- Courts are getting stricter on details like font choice, line height, and font size in legal filings. I really can’t blame them; one reason I avoided critique groups was because t he multitude of font choices hurt to read.
- What is up with the way people worship bookstores?
P.S. If you need a tech VA or help with your website, email me at [email protected]. Got a story that I should include in next week’s list? Shoot me an email.

"What is up with the way (some) people worship bookstores?"
Many more of us don’t, or Amazon would never have been a thing. 😉
On 'font & size', I’ve been known to cut/paste text into Word/LO to change it into something more readable.
YMMV 😉
