Report from Cyberspace:

Agencies pursuing digital ventures was definitely the hot topic this week, spurred by the news that UK agent Ed Victor will launch Bedford Square Books, an entity that will publish his clients’ backlist in digital form. Confirmation also came from Curtis Brown that their agency is “well down the path of formulating their own strategy for republishing their clients' out-of-print works.”  - The Bookseller

Authors rely on a variety of methods to get the word out about their books, including adminstration of contests via social media sites. Facebook released new rules this week strictly forbidding many of the practices used to facilitate promotions, such as “Liking” a comment, picture or fan page to capture contest entries. Nor can you use any of Facebooks interfaces (i.e. wall posts, direct messages) to inform someone about any part of the contest. This lockdown is sure to put a crimp in many a DIY promo plan - GalleyCat
