great article! Thanks for posting.
Can someone tell me if I missed where we have said how many books we read each year are by women, how many do we own and how many books by women are we actively promoting by reviewing or interviewing authors and publishing these articles in spaces w…
Thank you Lizzie! When this story broke, this was one of the articles I was most inspired by. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us directly on She Writes!! (And everyone -- don't miss Lizzie's 2009 title, one of my agent Erin Hosier's fav…
A few weeks ago, two book critics held a hushed conversation via cell phone under cover of darkness.

this was a wonderful article, Lizzie and the best take on what happened I've read.
Such a great article, Lizzie.
"The publishing industry is no better at ignoring gender than your average obstetrician." I had this line pointed out to me a week or so ago by a fellow writer; loved it then, love it now. And yes: the risk of adopting…

Why are Best-Books Lists Mostly Male? (From Politics Daily)

"If it happens, I will just --"
"I know!" said the other.
"SCREAM," the first finished. "I WILL SCREAM."
The subject was the upcoming season of book awards; "They" was the mass of authors, critics and publishing professions who -- including yours truly -- dispense them.

Kamy Wicoff said… - Hi there -- just wanted to drop by your page and invite you personally (or at least virtually) to our first-ever She Writes Chicago meetup, celebrating our first-anniversary! We are so grateful to the event's organizer, Eileen O'Halloran, for taking a risk and stepping up to host. I hope you will support her and bring yourself and other women who write (no need for them to be members) to the Chicago gathering. At the meetup writers will take part in the She Writes "Book Communion," where attendees arrive with one book, their own or another She Writers', new or gently used, and leave with another book as a meaningfully way to support one another's work. We will also be blowing out a candle and making a wish for our upcoming writing year -- along with She Writers gathering in 16 cities around the country. I hope you will be part of this historic (well, at least kind of cool) occasion, and RSVP now to Eileen here.

ladies.........all fabulous, kept me reading and wanting more.
Since I write more of the romantic type of novels, looks are important for my characters. I come up with their look various ways. I envision what they should look like, and write their attributes down, or I use pictures of people I clip from magazin…
