Praise for Beacon Broadside:

  • Lean Left; praise for Beacon Broadside in December 13th blog entry

    “What there isn’t is a lot of hard sell, buy me now . . . They have their authors write about subjects that interest them and let their writing do the marketing. It’s a very good idea and should be a template for how publishers do blogs.”
