Every Saturday I’ll be posting a Week In Review, looking back at what happened over the last seven days. Included will be news from Scribblerati and the publishing industry at large, things we writers on the edge should be informed of. Here you’ll get a taste of what you may have missed over the week while busy writing or living Real Life.

In Scribblerati news, Scribblers on the Edge gained an Editor in Chief (me!) and moved from Blogger to WordPress, allowing for a sleeker design and greater control. Don’t get me wrong, I love Blogger and use it myself, but with so many collaborators at the Edge and many more to join in future, WordPress was, in the end, the way to go.

The Scribblers Gazette is now up and running, waiting for content to fill up it’s pristine white pages. It’s intended as an online magazine for our published members, where they can add news and articles as time permits instead of having to constantly maintain a personal blog. Now their fans can keep up with lots of authors in one place instead of trawling around the internet to keep up with a bunch of them.

I plan to kick off the Gazette by interviewing our youngest published member, 16-year old Riley Carney, the author of THE FIRE STONE, and will also be announcing the results of Scribberati Best Books of 2009 survey there. Your input is all we need to get the ball rolling!

Take a look at our pretty new website! Scribblerati.com has only been up for a month, and already our membership has swelled to over two hundred Scribblers, with many more following our Twibe on Twitter. A recent development is the founding of a sister site, The Scribblers University, where we’ll be connecting our membership with industry professionals perfectly positioned to help them realize their dreams.

But beyond all that, Scribblerati tries not to take the business of writing too, too seriously. We picked our ever so slightly silly name to remind ourselves to have fun!

If that sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, why not scoot over to www.scribblerati.com and take a look around?
