"You can save money by designing your own cover." Well, I'm set! I tried to print a character sheet out once, and the printer went mental and it came out in alien. Best. Glitch. Ever.

That's not Latvian, that's Estonian - you can see "Eesti Raamat", which means "Estonian book".

Google webcomicsnation. Comics people -- in one of the most labor-intensive art forms -- have been addressing ALL these problems and questions for over a decade. If the prose industry is finally on board with it -- with such an important speaker -- then the systems in place will work even more efficiently. Now if the San Diego Comicon and the Los Angeles Book Fair could leak together... :))

[Rummelhart]

WOW! Prose authors actually catching up with us comic book authors! Welcome aboard, folks -- nobody can stop us now. Huh.... art.... she could do her own comic book, too.....

She is such a Canadian icon that we sometimes take her for granted. Great to be reminded how brilliant she is and I was impressed about her insights into the impact of ebooks on the industry.

[mlakers100]

This is brilliant. Thank you!

[writingwildly]

I had no idea she was such a talented artist as well. :)

[MarkJeffrey100]

Well of COURSE I thought this was awesome!!!  :)

[ParaTroll]

I was eating a cheese sandwich as I was writing and listening to her. Oh well, I'll eat cake instead. :o)

[kenajones]

I was there and it was a great treat to see Ms. Atwood -- gracious, witty, wise -- and bringing us all an important message about the author's role in the digital revolution.

Loved it!
