Ron Hogan’s Summary
I've been sharing my passion for books and writers since 1995: first as a bookseller, then a book reviewer and review editor, and as an independent observer of the publishing scene. Today I'm taking what I've learned over from all those realms and doing what I can to help publishers and authors alike succeed.
If I've gotten somebody interested enough to pick up a book and start reading, I consider that a good day. And if they're motivated to write their own book, I'm equally delighted.
