First the blog, then the book

Yet another blogger lands a book deal, and a very nice deal at that – $300,00.

Why Blog? Reason No. 92: Book Deal – New York Times reports:

“And then on March 20 Random House announces that it has purchased the rights to a book by the blog’s founder, Christian Lander, an Internet copy writer. The price, according to a source familiar with the deal but not authorized to discuss the total, was about $300,000, a sum that many in the publishing and blogging communities believe is an astronomical amount for a book spawned from a blog, written by a previously unpublished author.”

Over on my writing blog I just posted “Writing Blogs – Write a Blog and Triple your Income” to encourage writers to blog.

The blog, Stuff White People Like, is on WordPress.com, a free blogging platform.
