How do I get published?

There doesn’t seem to be a more common dream among youth workers than the desire to get a book deal or to get published in a national magazine.
Here’s a reality check: No one is ever going to contact you to offer you a book deal or to ask for you to write for a magazine.

Googe Reader’s New Feature: Recommended Feeds

I am a major fan of Google’s Feed Reader, Google Reader. A mini-feed lives on my iGoogle page and my many feed subscriptions make keeping up with my favorite sites a snap.
