First of all -- a HUGE thank you to everyone who entered our first-ever "Young Adult Novelist" contest, with 100% of the entry fees going to support the important work of Girls Write Now.  It's such a worthy organization, I hope that the $3975 raised is some consolation to the 260 of you who didn't make this list.  The quality of the entries was mind-bogglingly good (hence our needing an extra day to decide), so please, continue…

A Day of Action for Women and Girls Who Write

Posted on December 19, 2011 at 9:00am 30 Comments

Hi everybody!  I wanted to take a break from my sabbatical to write to all of you today about something that has been greatly on my mind these past few weeks, and ask you to take a MEANINGFUL ACTION TODAY to do something about it.

On my mind is the way women writers are consistently under-represented in the all-powerful "best of" lists that begin coming out at the end of each year.

As Meg Waite Clayton…

Hi Kamy, I didn't know and since mine got approved I didn't check. Maybe I will call it something else... Thanks for letting me now.

As promised Kamy here I am checking in on you (and 9 others) to see how you are coming along with your three wishes! Actually, I’ve been reading here and there about you, but just the same wanted to thank you for this wonderful post. It’s been the one thing that really has kept me motivated, so I can only imagine what it has done for so many other women.

Great job…we’ll be on the lookout for that television pilot, as SheWriters is already proven to have its niches of supportive writers! ;-)

Hi Kamy, just found this comment from June (really just found it!) And I want to say I wish I could've made it to the SheWrites in portland in June. Can you tell me whether there have been any others or are there any coming up in the future? I'm just now kind of getting around the site and figuring things out. -Judith

Thanks, Laura. What's your Twitter handle and I'll add you to my follow list? I tried to post your post to Twitter but the She Writes site is pretty wonky and it wouldn't obey! It's a good post so maybe you can tweet it so it…
