Hi Judith. I saw you got my book in one of your comments. Did you read it? Did you also review it on amazon and or goodreads? Wow. I am sorry if I missed all that goodness. :)

I was suggested to speak to women studies in university - I don't know many in academia, do you have any idea how one might reach out to women studies and how it works with their speaker circuits / programs ? thanks much. See you soon!!!

Judith, wish I still lived close enough to come to the Bay Area event--enjoy! Should be a great evening.

Hi Judith, good to be here, now. Has been so so so busy but have a little air now. Tell me what's up with the event in Berkeley ... did you create a FB event I could post around?

Thanks for asking Judith. I am teaching Transformative Blogging for women, blogging when I can at Feral Mom, Feral Writer, and in love with making photo-poem micro movies. I've started a series of blogs in support of women bloggers on my main site. I've also just commited myself to taking this year to work on a book based on the blogging courses. A rich and happy writing life, as it sounds like yours continues to be...I am so glad to have made the connection with you. To gritty, pithy writing and all that it offers!

Thanks so much for responding Judith. I've been keeping an eye on SheWrites even though I haven't been active, too much going on in my life, and have noticed how well you're doing, Huff Post etc, and how well you're integrated into the doing around here. If the small press that has my book right now doesn't take me on, I will be joining your ranks.

Hi Judith. Thanks for the invitation to be friends and my apologies for not responding sooner. There aren't  enough hours in the day to do everything I want. Hope this season, and your project, are both moving along at a happy clip for you 

Hi Judith,  Thanks for connecting!  Your memoir sounds very interesting.  I'm curious, are you using a book publicist and/or what is your marketing strategy? 

My book Shanghai Love is forthcoming this April 2013 and I'm struggling with this part of the puzzle!

Many thanks!

Layne

Hi there Judith!

Thanks for befriending me I appreciate it very much. I hope we have an opportunity to chat more :)

Hi Judith,

Thanks for connecting. We have a lot in common! Would love to email at some point about your experiences in women's studies and all of the changes in academe. Did you ever go to NWSA (I'm currently the VP, it's a different organization than it was when I started attending in 98).

best,

Michele

Oh, and we're neighbors-ish, too.  I life in Marin County, just across the Bay.  

Nice to "meet" a fellow SWP litter-mate.  

Hi Judith, Clinical neuropsychology was my academic area. My first NF book was a text but my latest "Trouble In Mind" is a trade book: a collection of cases like those of  Oliver Sacks. Like your area a rich ground for novel ideas!

Thank you for the compliment, and for reaching out!

Best,

Sarah P.

Judith,

We're delighted to have you join us in the novelist group – please accept my belated welcome (I’ve been finishing a novel on deadline, and traveling to boot).

If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion.

We do a live chat the first Wednesdays of each month at 1 EST, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one.

I hope you’ll enjoy the group.

Judith, 

My pleasure.  It sounds like a book to read.  Stay sane over the next couple of months.

Hi Judith. Thanks for the welcome. Right now, I'm just blogging about my life in transition after university and my travels here in Korea. Most of my energy before that went into political journalism, which was a whirlwind education. I started a writer's group here in Korea so I'm just getting back into poetry again. I'm hoping being connected through SheWrites will spark some of those creative urges again.

Can't wait to read your memoir! I first loved food and food culture when I moved to Davis and started hanging out at community dinners at the Domes and working at the co-op. It's neat that we have similar geographies- I wonder if I'll recognize some of the foods and places in your book.

Congratulations Judith! Your memoir sounds very interesting. I think Brooke and She Writes Press is already serving you well -- her post was an excellent, intriguing intro to your work.

Good luck with the process and let us know how it goes.

Cheers.

Shane
