"Wendi--in answer to your question about self-publishing: no, I didn't consider it. Even back in 2007, when I first began looking for an agent, the culture around it was different. And I wanted full distribution...and it just wasn't my path…"

Nightmares from the VIDA Count & Contraception
Posted on March 6, 2012 at 4:54am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I woke up (just moments ago) with the proverbial pounding three am heart. I had a nightmare about trying to convince unresponsive authorities about young girls being attacked. The specifics of my nightmare don’t matter (is there anything more boring…

Recently, a thread in an online writer’s community popped up, beginning with someone (who hadn’t begun querying) asking why folks sent query letters to so many agents.
Did they have that many “dream…

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.
For every moment of awe a writer has at seeing her book on a shelf, at being told by readers what comfort they found in your words, come the times when you read the word “blech” in a reader’s review. It’s part of the…

- Hi there--just wanted to drop by your page and invite you personally to our first-ever She Writes Boston meetup, celebrating She Writes' one-year anniversary! The Boston gathering will be hosted by none other than Jaclyn Friedman, author of "Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape (and one of Publishers' Weekly's Top 100 Books of 2009)," and visionary leader of Women, Action Media (WAM!). 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 Jaclyn here.

- Randy,
Congratulations on hitting the Dutch bestseller list!
It's funny, I'm part Dutch and had indeed recently heard of Vleugellam (I don't remember where or when, but I did), just as I had heard of The Murderer's Daughters (through your page here). But somehow I had not put 2 and 2 together - it's been a crazy chaotic month for me, so please forgive.
Anyway, it seems to me that your is definitely creating buzz...
Awesome!
Savor it!
