• Gina Frangello commented on Kamy Wicoff's article Writing Is Not A Contest! (No Matter How Much Some Dudes Wish It Were)
    June 2011
    I'm not one of those people who believes that all writers should be snivelingly insecure about their own work, and I have no objection to a talented and award-winning writer acknowledging that his is a "good" writer.  But this whole strain of...
  • Gina Frangello commented on Susan Conley's article Notes from an American Mother in Beijing
    February 2011
    This is so interesting.  I don't think American parents lack a (sometimes inflated) zeal of competition where their kids are concerned, however.  I just think it's often that our sources of pride or cultural obsession are different.  I've seen...

    October 2010
    Robin, I hear what you're saying, but I'm not really sure why you thought I was attacking Harlequin as vigorously as you seem to think I was. I claimed that they give their writers a formula, and this is true. I didn't go on a diatribe about the...
  • Gina Frangello commented on Marina DelVecchio's article Harvard, Final Club, and Sexism in the movie "The Social Network"
    October 2010
    Excited to go read your post on this--I haven't seen the film, but did you read Elissa Bassist's impassioned gender-criticism of it on The Rumpus? A lot of interesting people seem to be talking about what this film--and the real life situations that...
  • Gina Frangello commented on Zoe Zolbrod's article Reflections on SheWrites' Extraordinary Heroines event
    October 2010
    Zoe, I, too, would have absolutely fallen in love with a book like CURRENCY in my own youth, and wish I could have had such a book, in no small part because of Robin's independence, and the unconventional role--for those of us coming of age in the...
  • Gina Frangello commented on How She Does It's article Half a Dozen Unsolicited Pieces of Advice about Running a Small Press
    October 2010
    Love this, Kathleeen. You've definitely hit on some of the very top points for indie editors to keep their sanity/inspiration, and to help their presses create a brand and sustain themselves in this difficult climate.
  • Gina Frangello commented on The Salonniere's article Where Learning To Read (and Write) Can Get You Killed -- If You're A Girl.
    September 2010
    Thank you for sharing this, Kamy. Especially for pointing out that when the media uses words like "oppose" to make wrath-filled murderers sound as though they have some kind of reasonable position, that, too, is a kind of crime. I'm horrified by the...

    August 2010
    Great piece, Erin! And cool about your Chicago author's book sale--always good to hear that Chicagoans are out there representing!
  • Gina Frangello commented on The Salonniere's article In Honor of 10,000: Shout Out a Woman Who's Got Your Back!
    July 2010
    My mother, who used to cut paper for me off a butcher roll when I was trying to write my first "novel" at the age of 10, and who managed to give me privacy and space to do so in a one-bedroom apartment, and always respected when I didn't want to...
