Here’s the Cover (March of the Novel, Part 3,000,001)

By Arjun Basu | Published: October 3, 2013

And then there was a cover. Here it is. The blurb will change. But otherwise, this is out. This week, some writers/reviewers started to receive ARCs (advanced reader copies) – perhaps one of them will say something nice and their blurb will replace the blurb currently on the cover. Also, I saw the catalog copy […]

The March of the Novel, part 3,000,000

By Arjun Basu | Published: September 28, 2013

So, we move forward. Waiting for the Man now has an ISBN and its own Goodreads page. I just finished my final readthrough after some last minute and astute edits and queries. And, frankly, I hope to never read this book again. Ever. Oh, I’ll read parts of it. I have to. But not the […]

Big in the OC

By Arjun Basu | Published: April 5, 2013

I’m some kind of funny. In the OC! (check page 152)  At least, that’s what my friend Amy (from this design firm – yes, yes, identical twins, I know) thinks. What does she know? Does it matter? Look who else is on the list: @kellyoxford (who has a new book out and it’s getting raves), […]

New Short Story Published at Joyland

By Arjun Basu | Published: December 22, 2012

To celebrate the start of winter, or not – this is very subjective – I have a new story published by the great people at Joyland, called Cold. I’m lucky to live in a place that still has winter (I kind of like it) though it doesn’t have winter enough. We used to get a […]

For the Love of Paste

By Arjun Basu | Published: December 20, 2012

I made Paste’s best Twitter accounts list again. Second year in a row. This year, I hope I receive a t-shirt at least. Or a squeeze toy.

The Media Starts Here

By Arjun Basu | Published: December 7, 2012

The book media has started to pick up on the novel, or at least the signing of the deal. It’s early yet, but it’s nice to know people are taking notice. I also like the very short synopsis ECW came up with: Waiting for the Man is about a dissatisfied copywriter who becomes a media sensation by […]

This is my signature on my new book contract (signed this morning)

By Arjun Basu | Published: October 31, 2012

Yes. It is done. I signed on the proverbial dotted line. For the novel. More news to come. If I said I wasn’t relieved I’d be lying. See this space for more information soon. What kind of information? Like the publisher. And the pub date. Stuff like that. The deets as we say. Who’s we? […]

Another Drunken Paper Puts Me on A List Made Up of People Who Tweet

By Arjun Basu | Published: July 8, 2012

Pity the Brits. Losing the Euro on penalty kicks (surely the most dastardly invention ever devised to solve a sporting event). Suffering through a summer of epic rain (no really, we all joke about the British weather but this year’s rain is breaking their records). Preparing for the Olympics with that English mixture of fatalism […]
