ASSETS 2014 - Rochester, NY. ASSETS Reviewing is now all finished, and the interviewer discussions have been completed. This year as always there were many good papers in my batch of seven for review, and I imagine even some good ones will not make it through to the conference due to the limitations of the conference format. There also seemed to be some part works and some works which had not quite done enough due diligence into the background of the topic they were investigating.

Authonomy is a unique online community that connects readers, writers and publishing professionals. It was conceived and built by editors at HarperCollins Publishers. They are in ‘beta’ at the moment, so they’re still developing and perfecting the site. Authonomy invites unpublished and self published authors to post their manuscripts for visitors to read online. Authors create their own personal page on the site to host their project - and must make at least 10,000 words available for the public to read.
