"Hang in there! She wouldn't have asked to see more if there wasn't something there that she found intriguing, and that's more than can be said for thousands of other writers. Learn what you can and keep working. You've chosen a…"

"I took a weeklong workshop with Elizabeth Strout at the 009 Taos Summer Writers conference and found her to be just as you described ... generous, interesting, interested in each member of our group, and fun! Learned a lot and enjoyed the workshop.…"

Mid-winter inspiration
On Monday night I went with a colleague to hear Elizabeth Strout read from her Pulitzer Prize winning novel in stories, Olive Kitteridge, at an event at the New School. It was completely wonderful. She read for about 15 minutes, and even though it was from one of the stories I liked least (although I should say that I just ADORED this book) I was riveted, as was my colleague who had not read the book at all. In the Q&A section Ms. Strout was warm, honest, funny, and generous, even though…See More

"Well you're right, I did not drink any Bud Lite during the Superbowl. But I did drink Magic Hat, so ... not sure I was spared!"

"I'm a devoted football fan and am continuously subjected to commercials that mercilessly mock and belittle my gender. The pathetic "woman as shrill, nagging, spoiler-of-all-good-times" motif is showing no signs of waning. The up side?…"
Katie Henderson commented on the blog post 'Nightmare on Amazon Street'
"Great piece! As I followed the story over the weekend I was wondering what it was like for authors trying to wait it out. All I can say is - hang in there and keep writing."
Katie Henderson replied to the discussion 'Tell us which book YOU bought in support of the women of She Writes!'
"I bought Traveling with Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd and her daughter, Ann Kidd Taylor - a two-fer!"
Katie Henderson commented on the blog post 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies'
"Not only that, but Seth Grahame-Smith landed an incredibly lucrative book deal after P&P&Z. Perhaps it will turn out that he's a great new talent, but for now it does feel like he got a bit of a break at the expense of poor Jane."

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
I wonder if people would have felt differently about this book if the author writing the zombie sections had been a woman. Having a male author inject zombie fight scenes into Jane Austen, though sort of a cute gimmick, maybe have been a missed opportunity to actually say something clever about Austen's project. I wonder if there is a woman author out there who could have looked at an Austen-novel/horror mash-up as a way to comment on just how dire and precarious the life of an unmarried woman…See More

"Hi Julie - I saw your reading at the Literary Death Match a few weeks ago (my boyfriend was a judge, a proud moment) and wanted to congratulate you on your much-deserved win : ) And on your book, of course!"

I applaud this trend in non-fiction. It has the capacity to pair serious writers and genuine research with seat-of-the-pants narrative. http://www.examiner.com/x-2509-NY-Books-Examiner~y2009m7d8-Books-about-the-art-world

Mark Hughes commented on the group 'Novelists (Struggling or Not)'"Jacky - your dilemma is one many know well, obviously. For myself, I liken the construction of a plot & characters with two metaphors; let's call them A and 2.
