Due to technical and technological glitches beyond our control, we’ve moved Pub Crawl to the Blogosphere for the indefinite future.
Are you ready to get down and dirty? To slog through the mud and the muck? Then read Pub Crawl, Screw Iowa!’s irreverent, informative, and always insightful look at the publishing world.
Ever wonder what agents really want? Who gets what when a book comes out—and why? Who’s on the top of the food chain, and who’s on the bottom? What pitfalls lie in wait for the unsuspecting writer, and how can you avoid them? We spell it all out for you, the ins and outs of publishing, separating out the good from the bad, the up from the down, and the very naughty from the not so nice.
So grab your flashlight and your boots. It’s dark down here, the mud is thick, and sometimes it smells like, well—you know what. Here it is. Pub Crawl. Everything you don’t know about publishing—and everything they don’t want you to know. Welcome.

Read this. Really. It’s important and it’s not even in itty-bitty small print.
No one at Screw Iowa! is a lawyer. We’re not even industry professionals. We’re just writers who’ve been around the block a few times–kicked around in some cases. We lost our rose-colored glasses long ago, and we see things for what they are. Everything in this blog—-or anywhere on this site, for that matter—-is our opinion. Nothing more and nothing less. Take it for what it’s worth. We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we do promise to give it to you straight. When we’re wrong, we hope you’ll call us on it. Knowledge is power, so if you have some, don’t be stingy. Share. It’s the Screw Iowa! way.
