Writer's Digest Editor Departs, Starts Blog

Just a quick alert that Maria Schneider, formerly the editor of Writer's Digest magazine and blogger at The Writer's Perspective, has left the WD building. She cited creative differences with the new honcho, Jane Friedman, editorial director of Writer's Digest Books. Not one to be bereft of an outlet, however, Maria is starting a new blog, probably to be named Editor Unleashed. It's not active yet, but we can look forward to all the juicy tidbits of insider gossip and writing tips we desire.
