As Garrison Keillor would say, it's been a quiet (few) week(s) in Lake Woebegon...



...Aside from another round or two of layoffs at McGraw-Hill, it seems it's been fairly quiet in Chicago's publishing world for a bit, and it likely will be for a while now that summer's here.



There are one or two publishing-related events of interest, though, in the area:

AMWA 2008 Conference

Friday, July 25, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Abbott Laboratories

200 Abbott Park Rd.

North Chicago, Illinois



Chicago Book Clinic Golf Outing

August 12, 8 a.m.

Poplar Creek Country Club

1400 Poplar Creek Drive

Hoffman Estates, Illinois



Also, a few job openings:

Shakespeare Squared, located in Glenview, has a couple openings.



BrainWorx Studio has been looking for some editors.



Quarasan has some openings (as usual).



Too, look for us soon on LinkedIn...
