Essays
Most of my nonfiction output in recent years has gone into books and gaming material, but I do write essay-length material as well, and recently I've been doing a series of essays on "how publishing works" on DailyKos. (I write the occasional political essay there as well... if you're a completist you can search my username.)
This section will probably be a little sparse for a while, until I get my act together and dig up some other long-buried essays.
