I’m really pleased to announce that Creative Commons posted about Runes of Gallidon today!
The permanent link is here.
Cameron Parkins has been lending his support since we first approached Creative Commons last summer; many thanks to Cameron and the rest of the CC Crew for the post!

The Writer’s Guide to Making a Digital Living: Choose Your own Adventure was written by Therese Fingleton, Christy Dena, and Jennifer Wilson. It’s a primer and guide on how to make a living from writing in what is an increasingly digital world (note: it’s obviously written from a “down under” perspective, but much of it applies globally).

In writing a guide especially for writers, and including the experiences of writers already active in this multi-faceted business, this guide will take you on a rich journey that resonates beyond any immediate use-by date by being relevant, presented in context and designed especially for you, the creative writer.
The fact that the report was released under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 Australia Licence just makes it all that more valuable of an offering!
