Great Publishing Guide

Word challenge:  CASTELLAN (think about kings and castles and moats to figure out the meaning of this word)--see end of post for definition

As I search for possible publishers and perhaps an agent, I have found a great source:  Jeff Herman's Guide to Book Publishers, Editors, & Literary Agents 2010. The almost 1100-page guide contains information about specific names to contact at particular agencies, sorts through the huge publishing companies with all their subsidiaries, and even presents interviews with editors, agents, etc., just to mention a few of the book's features.

Today's fact about my research subject, Martin De Leon: De Leon sometimes hired the pirate Jean Lafitte to carry purchased merchandise from New Orleans to the Texas coast.

Definition of CASTELLAN--the keeper of a castle.
