Marilyn Yalom commented on the blog post 'The Salonniere: Are You A "Self-Promoter"? Take My Quiz and Find Out!'
Dear Kamy,
I love what you are doing here. Self-promotion is a very tricky subject, and all of us who want to promote our books never know if we are doing too much or too little. But I agree with you whole-heartedly when you say: the more you give,…
Marilyn Yalom commented on the blog post 'The Salonniere: Where To, She Writes?'
Dear Kamy,
What you have done in the past eight months is awesome; I use that overused word because it does imply a measure of fear as well as respect. This is certainly time to take stock and ask where shewrites is going. My emphatic response to…

- Hi Marilyn,
This is a slow motion response to your summer email. We work with Stanford and the Clayman institute very closely - they are are earliest and one of our most enthusiastic partners! We were out there last month, and will be out for a week in mid March 2010 -- if you are interested in joining, let us (or Lori at Clayman) know. We'll also be in the Bay Area delivering a public session on October 25, and if you are interested in joining that I'd love to see you there. (Info at www.theopedproject.org) Katie

helen epstein said… - Actually Marilyn I don't think we've ever met but, like Kathryn Harrison I've followed you from afar and have met some of your students as well as writers from your area. There are two of us writer Helen Epsteins; we receive one another's email, hotel reservations and sometimes royalty checks from the NY Times Magazine for which we've both written. ! now write memoir and continue to do journalism online (www.theartsfuse.com) . Children of the Holocaust was my first book. I also wrote a biography of Joseph Papp and a book about three generations of women in my Czech-Jewish family.

And... we have a seminar in San Francisco for the public on August 8, followed by a happy hour at the Hyatt hotel from 5.30-7pm, for alums, advisers and interested people. We'll raise a glass and say a few words about our successes and future plans. Please join us! (For the seminar you can register on our site, www.theopedproject.org; for the happy hour, you are welcome to just show up, or contact laura@theopedproject.org for further details). Hope to see you.
