Movers & Shakers shaking up the internet!

3/23/2014

 

Library Journal posted the Movers & Shakers

Library Journal's 2014 Movers & Shakers edition came out this month and I was too preoccupied with planning Summer Reading for the teens in my community to remember to check my RSS feed.

I'm behind on all my reading, NPR, NY Times, book for book group, etc. Bad Marta, no new release urban fantasy for you! 

I expect there's a lack of caring about how I motivate myself to be organized so I'll just cut to what you really want to know, who was recognized this year.

I was privileged to write profiles on Kristi Chadwick, Myron Groover, Justine Hernandez, Alicia Virtue, and Madeline Walton-Hadlock.

This is the fourth year I've written Mover & Shaker articles for Library Journal. I only wrote five profiles this year. In past years I've written between 10 and 15 but I've been promoted twice at my library job in the nine months and have cut back on committing nonfiction.

It's the second year that I worked with the fabulous Francine Fialkoff on these projects. Francine, like Sarah Bayliss, who is now at School Library Journal, always improves my writing with their editing. Francine knows how to cut through static and narrow in on what's important. She's like a laser.

Don't forget to read about the rest of the Movers & Shakers and get inspired about what you can do at your library.

    Pulp & Pixels:

    An occasional blog with thoughts on words, books,  tech, and of course, libraries.

    Obligatory disclaimer:
    Pulp & Pixels reflects Marta Murvosh's viewpoint and does not represents the library system that she works for, the publications she freelances for, or any of the professional associations that she belongs to.

    Of course, if she happens say how much any of those organizations rocks, she expects there would be agreement on those points.
