Do check this out.
WAG wakes up dead writers! what else do you need!
seriously though, this article is good, better in a way than
the eisler/konrath dialog which is very self-congratulatory.
Yes, the Eisler/Konrath dialog was a bit like, "You da man!" "No, you da man!" "No, you was da man way before I ever was da man."
But their dialogue did eventually and accurately summarize the industry.
Marcus/Flawnt are another thing altogether. But, as Martha might put it, "It's a good thing."

Ann Bogle's note from a thread in Forum:
Here's what I'll ask you to do. Send an email to me at AnnBogle1@aol.com if you are interested in forming, in Stephen Hastings-King's words, "a coherent web organization for writers across genres." The name of the group will emerge, as James Lloyd Davis says, but for now we want to keep the idea intact. David Ackley has suggested WAG for Writers Across Genres. Put WAG or cwofwag in the subject line. Include your contact information -- as much as you'd like to include but minimally your first name, last name, middle name or initial if you sign by it, your email address, your city, your affiliation (in our case, Fictionaut), your website if any. You may wish to include the url for your Fictionaut profile. An entry would look like:
Ann Bogle
AnnBogle1@aol.com
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Fictionaut
Ana Verse at http://annbogle.blogspot.com
I'll keep a directory of these entries as they roll in.
