WordSmitten Guidelines. For an author to be a guest on the show, these are our guidelines. (Note: We select editors and publishing executives by invitation only.) 1. We look for guests who have depth, humor, and insight into the craft of writing. 2. If you are a debut author, please send a query letter to our office and include either a synopsis or A.R.E. (advance edition) of your book. 3. If you are self-published, our policy, currently, is to not review non-trade publications. That policy may change in 2009, so check back with us. 4. We receive too many requests to personally respond to each request. If your query letter is brief, polite, and witty, we tend to respond if we are interested in bringing you in as a guest. 5. We produce and broadcast interviews from our studios located in St. Petersburg, Florida. We do broadcast live from our BTR home when our guests are based in New York. Thank you for your interest in being a guest on the WordSmitten about the books broadcast. We appreciate your support of these programs. For more information, visit us at www.wordsmitten.com and if you are interested in our workshops, visit us at Meetup.com for our schedule.

I'm so sorry I'll miss Natalie Goldberg live, but I'll be traveling on Sunday, the 18th! Darn. I have been a fan since I first bought "Writing Down The Bones" back in 1988 or thereabouts. I'll be sure to catch the archive. Olivia

Head South to the outrageous and extraordinary Miami Book Fair. November 9-16.
The Street Fair (oh, did we mention a gazillion books and more than 300 authors?) begins on November 14.
On Sunday, October 19, Kate Sullivan interviews Mitchell Kaplan.
Kaplan, who founded the venerable book haven, Books & Books, is responsible for helping generate the idea for the Miami Book Fair.
Housed in a Mediterranean-styled building in Coral Gables, Florida, Kaplan's bookstore hosts more than sixty events every month. Author readings and signings, demonstrations and workshops, live music and film series, reading and discussion groups, programming for children and families, and a variety of other community-based events are held in this old world setting of floor-to-ceiling wood bookshelves, wood floors, and a courtyard cafe.
Mitchell Kaplan, co-founder of Miami Book Fair International, serves as the chairperson of the event's board of directors. The event, sponsored and supported by Miami-Dade College, brings more than 300 authors and exhibitors to a celebration of all things literary. Mitchell also serves on the steering committee of the Florida Center for the Literary Arts, Miami-Dade College's new literary center.
Kaplan served as a former President of the American Booksellers Association (ABA) and also served on the Board of ABFFE, the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression. He lives in Miami with his wife, Rachelle, and their twin sons, Jonah and Daniel, and their daughter, Anya.
Tune in to WordSmitten to hear Kate Sullivan and Mitchell Kaplan in a lively and entertaining discussion of the people, the books, and the business of writing.
