Publishing Spotted: How Many Times Can I Type The Word Money In A Single Post?

issueWe've spent a whole week obsessing about money--how to earn money writing, how to survive with less money, and how to stop worrying about money and start writing.

Today, the super new PBS website MediaShift Idea Lab has some ideas about how to create a cheap digital newsroom. This suggestion from J.D. Lasica is worth the price of admission:

"Lots of free great applications and plug-ins are available at download.com, pcmag, tucows pc world. Instead of manging your project with Microsoft Project ($400), an inexpensive alternative is Basecamp, free for one project."

The Papercuts blog linked to this epic NY Times Magazine article from 1998 about the different editors and lovers who shaped the stunning short stories of Raymond Carver. It's an invaluable lesson about editing, editors, and yes, surviving on a shoe-string budget when nobody believes in you. Read it this weekend.

Everybody has a first kiss story. Tell yours and be a part of three-year-old project that mixes oral history, web publishing, and plenty of sweetness. (Thanks, Smith Magazine)

Finally, The Millions blog just turned me on to One Story magazine, a groovy print concept with plenty of writing advice for you:

"The magazine recently unveiled a prettier website, which still includes the features I've always liked. You can check out the first lines of every story published by the magazine, as well as short interviews with each writer about his or her story and the process of creating it."
