Weekly News Round-Up (June 3, 2022)

Hello and welcome to your weekly heavy metal history lesson! No, wait ... that's the intro for the show Bloody Roots on Sirius XM channel 40 (Liquid Metal). Sorry. This is your weekly news round-up of articles and op-eds pertaining to writing, books, the book business, publishing, and whatever other book- or writing-related info I feel like tucking in there. 

As noted in previous posts, the aim here is to give writers and independent publishers and book-lovers (or all of the above) the info they need on the things they love. And as also noted in previous posts, if you're aware of a book or publishing or writing-related news item from the past week that's not in the list below, send it my way!
