Sue William Silverman commented on the group 'Essay Writing'
Oh, wait, sorry: I still have another question: it's my understanding, however, that one can (more or less) summarize the contents of a letter without permission. Is that true? (Kind of how one can summarize the lyrics of a song without getting…

Hi Sue,

I wanted to connect with you and ask for your feedback. I recently did my first on-camera interview for the children's book on child sexual abuse prevention that I wrote, My Body Belongs to Me. Please let me know what you think when you have some time.

Thanks in advance.

"A standalone book app could cost $15,000 to $20,000." How about just a few hundred instead? http://dld.bz/a75x2

I shared a post titled "The Birth of the Diversity Blogs" today.  I wanted to share about the various cultures and peoples of the world and I figured that I should make that the theme of my blog.  :D Enjoy!
