(image from Flickr user purplemattfish)Except for possibly the last entry, and those marked 2008, these are all from 2009. And I do work for all of these (except IGMS) -- and also Locus, which has no entries here.

Novels:
ReVamped by J.F. Lewis. Can't say enough good things, and refuse to give spoilers. I think there's something in Alabama, because the writers there that I've read are awesome.
Saturn's Children by Charles Stross. Nominated for Hugo, Best Novel.
Other:
Essay: "POD Self-Publishing: Caveat Emptor" by Judith Moffett. NYRSF #246, February 2009. Hard numbers, which I appreciated: why POD is extremely costly, and how it works for the web-savvy, plus what books [and authors] are appropriate for the process -- and why she is glad that she did so.
There's a follow-up letter in NYRSF #248, April 2009; Darrell Schweitzer defines POD technology versus vanity press [see Screed]. Per Darrell, vanity press is a publishing strategy that fleeces the writer; POD technology is not vanity press.
Rejection problems in the slush pile, aka "A Comprehensive and Totally Universal Listing of Every Problem a Story Has Ever Had," is also in NYRSF #248, April 2009. This is one of the funniest lists I have ever read -- and fabulously useful as well. I wish I'd found it online before now, but it was a joy to read during March 2009. Scared away my cat by laughing so hard.
And I enjoy Tom Purdom's ongoing series in NYRSF. I think it comes out every quarter.

Thank you for this enriching list! I'm sure a lot of readers out there are excited to check out these titles. Thanks for sharing a wonderful information! Keep on posting!

=grins= You are most welcome!
Sorry not to have links for everything, but I have to wait for a few issues to be printed. I also didn't note that I don't read slush anywhere, so I didn't pick these until I read them.
