I’ve spent the better part of the weekend burning conference workshops to CDs and writing the titles and names on them in Sharpies (a misnomer, BTW – long titles are cute, but they’re a bitch to fit on a CD.) As I’m writing last names only, I’m wondering how helpful that is to a new writer, or even one who doesn’t know the market.
