The Bitter Quill

Happy birthday to our favourite pink-haired contributor, Cynthia Taylor. Enjoy this, your day of days!

Well, this is exciting news! The incomparable Catherynne M. Valente, author and poet, whose beauty and talent are rivalled only by each other, has graciously allowed The Bitter Quill to syndicate* the content of her new writing blog, Goblin Market. The technical details are still being worked out, but what it amounts to is that (relatively) soon after something goes up over there, you’ll see it go up over here. Isn’t that fantastic? If I were a Muppet, I’d be waving my arms spastically over my head and making high-pitched hooting noises.

It may or may not be important to note that not everything that appears on Goblin Market will necessarily appear on The Bitter Quill. I don’t see the value in reproducing any administrivia or the like, as we’ve got plenty enough of our own, thank you. But any posts of substance and interest — and I haven’t seen Ms. Valente write much that wasn’t both — will be faithfully reproduced.
