Publishers Lunch
The National
Endowment for the Arts announced nearly
a thousand grants totaling roughly $75 million for the second half of their
fiscal year.
Literature claims just a small slice of
that largesse, with 56 grants comprising $1.42 million. Among the larger
recipients, receiving grants of between $30,000 and $90,000,
are: 826 National; Association of Writers & Writing
Programs; Council of Literary Magazines and Presses; Grub Street; The Loft
Literary Center; PEN American Center; PEN/Faulkner; Poets & Writers; and
Small Press Distribution.
The full list (if you scroll down) is posted
here.
The Boston Globe "obtained" a
copy of Elizabeth
Warren's embargoed memoir set for release next Tuesday, A
FIGHTING CHANCE, and reports on
it. "Warren portrays herself as an idealistic outsider, persistently
fighting the excesses and political power of Wall Street."
Separately, Delacorte announced it will
publish a young adult adaptation of Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken on November 11: Unbroken: An Olympian’s Journey from Airman to Castaway
to Captive. The book lands in advance of the planned Christmas Day
release of a movie version of the original book, directed by Angelina Jolie.
Samsung
and Amazon
"announced
a broad agreement to launch Kindle for Samsung, a custom-built eBook
service" accessible via an app for Samsung devices. Galaxy device owners
who use the new app are promised a free ebook every month, chosen "from a
selection of four different titles."
