Not quite new site: Hungry Monkey

We turned over the Hungry Monkey site to author Matthew Amster-Burton much in advance of the book’s launch, and what with one thing and another, I forgot to post about it (even though I did put the site in our mini-portfolio). But it seems I am actually somewhat timely in announcing it now, because the book is just now shipping, and Matthew’s first few appearances are coming up soon. Go check out the Monkey!

New site: Edward Willett

I’ve been working with Edward Willett for the last several months to consolidate his extensive web presence — separate blog, podcast, and site — into one big WordPress-powered site. There was a lot of copy-and-paste work to do, and we divided that work between us, doing a little bit here and there rather than one wrist-destroying marathon. The new site went live this week, just in time to promote Edward’s new book, Terra Insegura.
