More importantly, Jackson's first blog post offers a bit of wisdom that all new writers need to hear, myself included--how to spot the writing vultures out there...
"Watch out for yourself: There are a lot of people out there who want your money but have no interest in publishing your work. NEVER take on an agent who charges a reading fee, or offers to “edit” or “doctor” your work for cash. Agents make money from royalties AFTER the sale. There are other businesses that offer to edit your work who will charge you very high fees and may or may not improve your work."
And, most importantly, Jackson understands that we are building a writing community out here. From fan fiction writers to web journalists, we are all looking for like-minded friends. After just a few days in this community, Jackson has already posted some thoughtful comments at ThePublishingSpot, and it's good to see somebody new out there...
Beutifully presented site, very 2006!
