"Hi, Rossandra--
I think that Poets & Writers would like to know that! Perhaps if you contact Jamie Fitzgerald she might be willing to organize something in Orange County. Good luck!"

Ellen Estilai replied to the discussion 'Simultaneous Submissions' in the group Essay Writing
"I agree. In your cover letter, let each publication that accepts simultaneous submissions know that you are submitting to more than one. Then, when you have an acceptance, let the others know as soon as possible. "

- Thanks for the comment! You might be the only person who read my story. :) That's great that you were able to learn something from the other person to work on your own memoir! Was it just another way of looking at your life, or a similar event that triggered your memory?
