Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

"How many of us stood in front of similar classrooms and saw those young faces arriving with the dawn? How many of us could have written the same sentiments — though not the same sentences — home? And how many of us wanted to be the writer that he became, the free spirit roaming the world, jotting down notes and writing novels, travel books, short stories and essays?"

That's John Coyne--a former Peace Corps volunteer, novelist, and editor of the booming web magazine, Peace Corps Writers--explaining how Paul Theroux launched his prolific career from Peace Corps, John Coyne most recently published The Caddie Who Knew Ben Hogan.

Late last year, Coyne opened up his very own blog, discussing books, travel, Peace Corps, and writers. It's a handy resource for any fledgling writer trying to see how the overseas experience can change your life forever.
