Hey, folks--

Sorry these are late, but we finally got some of the photos from last month's book party for Small Screen, Big Picture: A Writer's Guide to the TV Business
, at the Standard Hotel in Hollywood, up on the Mediabistro website! Click HERE to check 'em out... hope you enjoy!

Also, the book's been getting some terrific reviews, so I just wanted to share a couple with you... (I know this is kinda shameless self-promotion, but I'm excited, so I just wanted to put them up here...)
