 | Veterans of S.F.'s Edinburgh Castle pub make a mean gin and tonic. Now they're on tap to become the city's newest independent publishers Alan Black makes it all sound so easy. Maybe it is. In his thirteen years at the famed Edinburgh Castle, http://www.castlenews.com , Black has given a leg up to many writers and performers and is now ready to add "publisher" to his long list of credentials. No doubt his natural charm and wicked wit have also helped to knit together a group of people ready and willing to help out when called upon.More |  | Local Magazine Could Use a Few Good Subscribers Bitch magazine holds a special spot in that fuzzy space in my heart.

Can I crash with you?," it's important to be friendly, stay gracious and have a game plan.

In San Francisco, we like to branch out a bit: first novels, inspirational memoirs, travel writing, foodie writing, children's books: you name it, someone in the Bay Area is working on it and a writing course nearby caters to it.More | | | Make Your "Someone Special" Happy with a Lit Gift If you participate in the holiday gift-giving craze that infuses the nation at this time of year, here are some sweet ideas for the folks in your life.
