Writers and the Postal Service

There was bad news when the U.S. Postal Service announced rate increases, including the elimination of the M bag for media mail going overseas. Smaller media mail overseas shipments have already been phased out, as I learned last fall when trying to send books to the U.K.

Today I learned the move to get rid of the M bag came from Time Warner. A large publisher shutting out the smaller ones. That's life in twenty-first century America.

Writers and publishers are coming together to stop the measure. I encourage all to sign the petition.
