  WordSmitten Hosts Publisher and Editorial Director Jane Friedman
  

  Kate Sullivan interviews notable author, publisher, and editor, Jane Friedman.  At a recent WordSmitten Writing Conference held at the University of Tampa, Friedman conducted a special session titled, "The Book Publishing Industry: Evil, Unfair, or Dumb as Rocks?" This session was a hit.
  
  Jane Friedman is publisher and editorial director of the Writer's Digest brand community at F+W Media in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she oversees Writer's Digest magazine, Writer’s Digest Books, and the Writer's Market series.
  
  Writer's Digest is the world’s #1 resource and community for writers, and for more than 85 years has published the best-selling annual reference guide, Writer’s Market.
  
  Friedman is the author of The Beginning Writer’s Answer Book and maintains a blog on the industry, There Are No Rules (blog.writersdigest.com/norules). She holds a BFA in creative writing and a master's in English.
  
  During last year's visit to the WordSmitten event, and the rowdy authors assembled for that spectacular writing conference (Connie May Fowler, Robert Tarte, Alison Steele, Kate Sullivan, and Jane Friedman conducted sessions), Jane Friedman came through unscathed despite flat tires, an abundance of wine, merriment, and sassy writers.
  
  The WordSmitten team is delighted she survived the writing conference and authors' parties. Even more interesting, we're glad she still talks to our editorial staff.
  
  Tune in to the fun.
