"I agree! I run the bi-monthly reading series at BookCourt for Sackett Street Writers, the workshop I founded, and it is such a happy night each time. "

"Terror generally precedes a public event, but I hope you find how magical it is to share great books with an audience. I always go away filled up with human tenderness. No kidding. It surprises me every time."

"Thanks, Barbara. I'm excited, but a little nervous. I've never had a conversation in front of that many people before. ;)
I helped Dina edit earlier drafts of her book, so I feel like I know the material well. Her novel is wonderful."

"Judith, do tell about the call and the screen option! I think all publishers, indie or mainstream, have their virtues and challenges. Have you been glad with your choice, Danielle?"

"How do you write a Western historical epic? With a flashlight and two decades' worth of work! Grateful to The Tattered Cover Bookstore in Denver for their love of all things literary. They are truly a bookstore to…"

Barbara K. Richardson commented on the blog post '[1st Books] Debra Dean: Taking the Long Way'
"Love the Joan Alcocella quote, and how disappointment and low salaries accompanied Dean's journey to writing a great novel. Novelists are a tenacious bunch. Soldiers without the weapons, retirement benefits or clearly-defined pathways to…"

"So glad your editor got it right, Danielle. I loved the substantive changes suggested for my novel, but found the line-editing all wrong. Help me sculpt the story, yes, but don't tamper with the narrative voice. And line changes come so late in…"

"Sounds fascinating, Cara. And a family story, to boot. That means the motivation runs deep. Like Kate, I had a massive manuscript. Actually, I combined two novels to make one. Then, with lots of work, 800 pages became 350. Which makes for compelling…"

"All the best to you, Cara. It sounds like you've hit the lovely "I'm gonna keep going no matter what comes" place, and with some happiness about it. Congrats. In a very real way, we are our own biggest obstacles. What's the…"

"Hey, my author Q & A just posted on All Things Girl. If you don't know the online magazine, check it out. By and for women. Glossy and fun. I would love it if you'd leave a comment, to thank them for featuring me. My book review posts…"

"Lightening things up a little, here's a blog to encourage readers to post online reviews. I found out my sister was intimidated by the process, so I whipped up an instructional blog to allay her fears. We could all use more online…"
