Lovely post, Laurie. I think it is good for us – any of us, regardless of what our passionate task is – to reflect on the WHY of what we do.

Have you read any Mary Pipher (Reviving Ophelia, The Shelter of Each Other etc.)? She has written a book called (interestingly enough) Writing to Change the World. It is wonderful, and I think you might like it. Cheers!

Beautiful post, Laurie. Makes me smile ear to ear. And I wasn’t even there. But you inspire me to face a few of my own demons and shove them in bottles with corks. Thanks.

You betcha! I’ve been a subscriber for quite awhile and would also recommend it highly; it’s well worth the money. In terms of market research and targeting submissions, though, nothing beats Publishers Marketplace, in my opinion.

Thank you, Jolie! You are all kinds of awesome, too! We never could have done any of this without you and Sara so graciously handing down all of your tools and expertise. We learned from the best! And your contribution this year with the first-time attendee orientation was a HUGE HUGE HUGE positive. Thanks so much for sticking around and hanging in there with us. Yay!

p.s. I seriously love that picture of the three of us, too.
