Blog Buzz and Review

Since its quiet start two months ago, the GLA blog has been helped along by numerous mentions around the Web. Just today, I saw that Writer's Edge posted a nice mention of this site.

Just as awesome, if not more awesome (awesomer?), was the news that The Frustrated Writer had recently posted a review of the 2008 edition of Guide to Literary Agents, and gave it overwhelming praise. (Thanks!) See the full review here. Here's some of what the article had to say:
