How does one assess a book for a popular audience? How does a book get published? How are literary prizes determined? What are the particular tastes and habits of the literary publishing world? While more books may compete for critical attention today than a generation ago, the web presents new opportunities for a life in books. Regular writing assignments and a ringside seat as spring's literary prizes are announced.
