What people are talking about today...

If you're pitching a nonfiction book, is it better to submit a proposal or the whole thing? Depends on the publisher and the book but if you've got both, even better.

Speaking of pitching, when is it time to switch agents? Probably after you realize that you don't have the same vision for promoting the book that your agency does.

Are you getting screwed if you're getting paid $7 an hour for textbook writing? The short answer: Yes. Other writers weigh in with their experiences with rates.

Where are some good places to take proofreading courses? Definitely not Columbia Proofreaders. Actually, maybe you shoudl try Columbia Proofreaders. (Special proofreading prize if you can find the error in this paragraph.)

Are you waiting to hear if you'll get a Time or Newsweek internship? Unfortunately, you have a few more weeks but you can commiserate with your fellow hopefuls here.

Finally, Philly writers, your board is just dying for a Super Bowl mourning thread.
