We end the month with 40 Writing, Blogging, Editing and Translation Jobs.

Canadian Chris Thiessen has created what might be the closest thing to a real book store online at Zoomii.com. What he’s done, near as I can tell, is create an Amazon bookstore, but set it up so you’re seeing the covers on shelves just as you might if you walked into your nearest physical book […]

I came close to firing a client yesterday. It’s been a rocky relationship from the beginning, which was back in the beginning of February.
