Hello all, and welcome back to Book Beat! I know everyone’s a bit preoccupied with movies lately, what with the Oscars having been held this past Sunday.

Book Beat: More Poetic Plagiarism, U.K. Publishing’s Code of Conduct, and A Phone Call Dispute
Hello lovely readers! This is your Bookmarked editor Paige, here to share all the latest publishing news in this week’s Book Beat.

Book Beat: An Awful Book Won’t Be Sitting in the Library Anytime Soon
Hello lovely readers! Welcome to another weekly installment of Book Beat, brought to you by your Bookmarked Editor Paige.

Hello lovely readers! Welcome to another weekly installment of Book Beat, brought to you by your Bookmarked editor Paige.

Hello all! It’s Emily here again. I hope you’ve all been having a wonderful week and are keeping warm amid the cooling temperatures. I’ve already spotted some flurries in the air this October, if you can believe it. But the cool weather just gives me an excuse to read some books and write from the…
