My mom did work at the Daily News many years back. I'm glad to be a part of She Writes. I've been a member for a while, but just got inspired to get active!

Hi Sarah,
How does one start a group or a forum on SheWrites?

Thank you for such an effusive welcome to this group! My good friend Jennifer Lauck has been talking it up for months now and I can see why she's so over the moon about it. I work as a filmmaker and our biggest complaint is that we work in solitude much of the time and miss community. I'm thrilled to be a part of this one!

Thanks so much. A lot of great content here.

Hi Sarah-- thanks for the welcome. I am learning my way around here. Is there a good overview to learn the ropes on the blog somewhere? I appreciate finding this community. I direct a community called She Reads www.shereads.org where we select a new fiction selection per month and promote it to readers of Christian/Inspirational fiction. That's actually how I found out about you because of the similarity in names!

Thanks, Sarah! I enjoyed your workshop at Girls Write Now, and I look forward to being part of the She Writes community.

Thank you for the welcome! I'm excited to join the group and exchange ideas about writing and publishing.

Thank you for the welcome. I'm excited to be here and I've been having fun poking around the site.

Thanks for the hearty welcome, Sarah! This is a fabulous site with terrific support for writers. I'm thrilled to be here! Kathy

Thank you - are you perhaps a sailor along with your writing and coaching accomplishments?

Thanks so much, Sarah, for your welcoming comments. I will tell my cats Jack and T-Bone that you like their picture.
Looking forward to growing with this great group She Writes!

Hi Sarah,
I need help!
I've been a freelance writer/reporter for 24 years and I'm currently looking for paying gigs!
I've a wife and mom who has Crohn's Disease and lives in the Pacific Northwest. I've written on nearly every subject for web sites, newspapers, magazines and newsletters, but I specialize in lifestyle articles, business features, interviews/profiles, book reviews and author interviews, and astrology targeted to specific audiences.
I've written horoscopes for everyone from financial gurus to teenagers and dogs,which has been great fun, but I am currently looking for a place to publish my book lovers horoscopes on a regular basis.
I've tried my local library newsletter and a couple of other email newsletters and a web site, but haven't found a home for the column yet.
Thanks for your help.

You are too kind. Miss you. Love this website. Will protect the top 10. Geez, What were they thinking? send other news too, love, a

Hi Sarah, I am a writer who is searching for a publisher, marketing information anything that can help, I would appreciate. Thanks, Priscilla

Thanks! So glad to be here.

PS. I see you're in Brooklyn - not so very far away! (Manhattanites are such snobs!) I actually like Brooklyn, though, have friends in Park Slope, and teach occasionally at Brooklyn College.

Hi Sarah, I'm so pleased to hear from you. I read Ithaka at Jo Ann Miller's recommendation and thought it was so honest and insightfully written - a psychological journey and epistolary courtship. I thought the excerpts of the letters were very effective. Please keep me posted of your writing news, and I'll do the same. And if you're ever in NYC, let me know if you have time for coffee. -Mindy

Sarah, as I was searching for my Bmom, a woman handed me your book! Very brave work. Lovely to see you here and thanks for the bump hello.

feel free to start a thread over at the memoir writers group -- the fiction writers are going gangbusters already! :)
