Here's one more addition to the Literary Recession Survival Kit: start a band.

Last night Jonathan Burnham from HarperCollins, Nick Trautwein from Bloomsbury, and Tom Mayer from Norton debuted as a jazz trio at PEN America's annual Fall New Members/New Books Party.

As writers mingled around them, these three editors polished an act that could supplement their literary income during these tough times. If you want to join PEN--for the support, the community, or the jazz--just visit the PEN American Center for more information.
