November Roundup : Make Use Of Authors

With November over and only 3 weeks to Christmas (!), here is a roundup of what we’ve done over the past month.

7 new writers had their first story published, Jason brought out 12 podcasts, but the biggest event of the month was of course the MakeUseOf domain being stolen from us and then being retrieved.   It’s been quite a month!

Let’s hope December is a lot quieter!
