Everybody Needs a Vacation

“The water was that clear turquoise color you get with a white sand bottom. I had never seen such a place. I wanted to take off all my clothes and never wear them again,” wrote Hunter S. Thompson about the particularly beautiful stretch of Puerto Rico featured in the video embedded above from April 2009–reminding us how important the occasional vacation can be.

Starting tomorrow, GalleyCat editor Jason Boog is headed out for a week-long vacation. He will return on Monday, April 26th. Until then, the site will be in the capable hands of eBookNewser editor Craig Morgan Teicher, GalleyCat contributor Mark Byrne, and correspondent Jeff Rivera.

If you have publishing news to share next week, you should email Mark Byrne all the details. GalleyCat Reviews will take a week-long break, but we’ll return to our regularly-scheduled programing on April 26–including the impending launch of the World’s Longest Remix Contest.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
