Cat has unearthed links to free
ebooks of five ultra long novels.
►At
Writer's Digest University, an
excellent example of the kind of crisp, no-frills cover letter recommended

(via @ErikaDreifus).
►Amazon
has launched an interactive feature inviting its customers (or anyone,

Tobin, J.M Coetzee, Jhumpa Lahiri. Need help?
