Joanne, don't want to miss you at Blogher -- when do you have time?? I'm doing a panel on Saturday on the changing nature of publishing (wouldn't be surprised if you were doing a panel, too), but am free otherwise and it would be wonderful to meet. email me at kamy@shewrites.com

Warm best,
Kamy

Hi there -- just wanted to drop by your page and invite you personally (or at least virtually) to our first-ever She Writes Washington D.C. meetup, celebrating our first-anniversary! We are so grateful to the event's organizer, Ananda Leeke, 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 Washington D.C. 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 Ananda here.

I saw your HuffPo piece about the NYT article. So well said. Thanks for saying what I was thinking, only much better than I could have.

Hello Joanne,

Welcome to Mother Writer! Please feel free to introduce yourself to the group. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I would love to hear about some of the work you are doing.

Hi! Deborah forwarded me the email about the panel for SXSW that you are doing with Veronica, and of course I voted yes! (Having just attended my first Blogher conference, I was instantly sympathetic to the concept.) You should post it to some of the groups here on SheWrites (blogging group is almost 500 women) and get them to log on and vote too...

Hello! You are cordially invited to join the Washington DC SHE WRITES group.
