Sarah Weinman of GalleyCat and Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind After two years blogging on the publishing industry, Sarah Weinman’s leaving GalleyCat. Sarah’s also the voice behind the amazing Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind, a crime fiction review blog.

In leaving, she says:

“Instead I’m creating a new routine, or perhaps an anti-routine: one with more freelance opportunities and larger projects to work on. One where I can spend more time on neglected matters: fiction-writing, my own crime fiction-centric site, or making some use of that forensic science degree after all. One with equal parts possibility and uncertainty.”
