It's easier just to use my own bibliography. It never needs more than one item updated at a time.<br />Michael Swanwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389836784776252022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-27990881820153182102015-10-29T09:40:53.240-07:002015-10-29T09:40:53.240-07:00Well, they may find listing all your work a challe...Well, they may find listing all your work a challenge, Michael. The site includes a lot of my own reprints and non-fiction that I've forgotten about. <br /><br />It's a volunteer-maintained site that covers thousands of writers and hundreds and hundreds of publications. I think they do an incredible job, and I frequently use it as a resource. <br /><br />NB: Unlike Wikipedia, ISFDB encourages writers to update their entries, and is also willing to add or correct things if a writer finds it difficult to use the login.Eileen Gunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142274562155993622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-51570525503536991022015-10-29T08:41:28.261-07:002015-10-29T08:41:28.261-07:00I just checked my own listing and it omits a lot o...I just checked my own listing and it omits a lot of publications -- including my last two novels. Following a link, I find that they have Marianne's Dragonstairs Press as having published only three chapbooks, when she's created more than a dozen.<br /><br />So I wouldn't recommend the Internet Science-Fiction Database as a reliable alternative to maintaining one's own bibliograpy. But I'm glad they got your oeuvre right.Michael Swanwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389836784776252022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-8695085644494811262015-10-28T15:27:49.808-07:002015-10-28T15:27:49.808-07:00Michael, the dumbfounding speed of my story produc...Michael, the dumbfounding speed of my story production leaves me no time to collect and organize a bibliography. Fortunately, the excellent folks at the Internet Science-Fiction Database have stayed on top of my prodigious output. I recommend their work to your readers: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?737Eileen Gunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142274562155993622noreply@blogger.com
