Hi Maryn - nice to meet you! :-)

Yay! Good to be in touch. Are you applying for the Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant? Prose writing is up this year, and it might include non-fiction (although I haven't checked). Deadline is July 30, I think.

By the way, I'm in the Longfellow neighborhood (my favorite Minneapolis neighborhood named after a writer -- I love that we have several). If there are any literary events you think are interesting, I'd love to hear about them.

Hi Maryn:

I grew up just west of London, Uxbridge and Chalfont St. Peter. Came to States in my early 20s, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Maggie
