Buzz in the Creative World

Hello, everyone!

There's a lot happening, both in Innovative and the world-at-large.

Innovative will be kicking off author interviews in bookshelf on November 18th with Mark Peter Hughes (www.markpeterhughes.com), author of Lemonade Mouth and I Am the Wallpaper. If you want us to interview a particular author (who is NOT J.K. Rowling) let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Hana Calvez, WriTeen, is the author of this week's WORD.

Harry Potter Mania is everywhere, because of this secret website www.elderscrossing.com. It's rumored that it's the eighth book; or the eighth movie; or a total hoax. Nobody knows! And Mugglenet.com appears to be completely silent, or I'm not looking at their archives hard enough.

The Writer's Guild Strike. Both Hollywood and New York City are seeing the effects of a strike by the Writer's Guild. All screenwriters are picketing, with big names like Gary Marshall and actors giving support from The Office, Grey's Anatomy and other huge shows. If you want to know what all the fuss is about, check out www.unitedhollywood.com and www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com with Nikki Finke.

Innovative will be hosting a Buzz Contest in the near future. Loads of cool prizes in store, so start getting excited!

And the Spotlighted! archives ARE coming... I apologize for the long wait.

Apparently HPANA.com has gotten a denial of J.K. Rowling's involvement, and expects to have a similar one from Warner Bros. So, no eighth book, but... what?
