A few weeks ago I began a series called "Where To, She Writes?" and posted a series of questions for our community to discuss as we grow, move forward, and imagine the possibilities together for She Writes. One of the questions, perhaps the hardest and stickiest, was this: "Emerging" and "Established" Writers—Do We All Belong In the Same Place? (And How Do We Know Who's Who?)The question of whether or not She Writes could be a hub and a home for both experienced and… Continue

Let's talk about community. Let's talk about generosity.

Why are Best-Books Lists Mostly Male? (From Politics Daily)
A few weeks ago, two book critics held a hushed conversation via cell phone under cover of darkness.
"They better not do it again," one hissed.
"I know," the other sputtered.
"If it happens, I will just --"
