Museum unveils Bronte’s teeny tiny early work

A manuscript by British author Charlotte Brontë that fits comfortably into the palm of a hand that fetched 691,000 pounds ($1.1 million) at a Sotheby’s auction in December, more than twice the upper estimate, went on display this week.

Here at Powells.com, in addition to exclusive interviews, original essays, and Q&As, we feature a wide selection of guest blogs from noteworthy authors. Each week, a new author contributes to our blog for five days straight, revealing everything from their thoughts on the writing process to details about their favorite neighborhood cat.

We’re constantly amazed at what comes out of these series, and we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to be able to host so many brilliant authors in one place.

As the year comes to a close, we thought we’d give a rundown of all our guest bloggers for 2012 in case you missed — or want to revisit — any of their posts.

Happy reading!
