Great award for professional journalists under 35
Here's some news about three great awards ($10,000 each) for professional working journalists under 35. The Livingston Awards.I won this many moons ago for International Reporting and I still feel honored! Perhaps more important: I asked my editor if he could submit my work. It never hurts to ask. In those days you had to ask. I see that jouranalists who qualify now can simply submit their own work. So let's revise that.

Kamy Wicoff at PEN Writers Roundtable
I wish all of you could have been there. But I know that so many shewrites members live across the country and around the world. Suffice it to say your presence was felt Wednesday evening at a PEN Writers Roundtable in Manhattan.There was a sense of international community.This, too, is obvious to all of us but probably could survive some repetition: Writers write everywhere and shewrites has engaged so many of the women who do. 12,000 at last count. (Good thing you didn't all show up!) Hooray!…See More

wubbit.com - anyone have any deep background?

Got an email this morning from a very very brand new web start-up that will help authors who have new copies of their books sell them to books stores and I think distributors, supposedly without a middle (wo)man. I took a quick look but not a deep study of the site.
I have been looking for an easy way to do this. But this site looks very new. It seems the only risk is a $36 registration fee. Well, I am still a newspaper reporter at heart - the more information the better - so looking to… Continue

Dr. Deb Hirschhorn said… - Hi Barbara! thanks for writing. I was not able to get my question about the title raised before this group. I did post it as a comment and it appeared on the right column for that day but no one responded. I wrote to the person in charge of titles who thanked me for reminding her to pick up the project again but that was all that happened. Anyway, you and a couple of friends suggested that the #171 was too high, so instead of rewriting the book, I just left the # out. I am submitting it to the publisher as we speak because they will do their evaluation anyway. I think its a much better book because of your feedback and I thank you.

That would be very cool. Nice to imagine connecting with WOMers all over the country.

- Welcome to the novelist group, Barbara. And nice to connect with a WOM author (from a member of the spin-off WOM-BA). I'll look forward to connecting with you!
And one upside or downside to SheWrites: my reading list grows. Your books look terrific, and your website is gorgeous.
