Erika,
I wanted to send a big THANK YOU. Awhile back I posted some questions about MFA programs on the Poets and Writers website and you responded quickly with some helpful information. And then in June, you posted a call for submissions for the "Cup of Comfort for Writers" anthology. I submitted an essay and just found out it's been selected for publication. I did not see any listings for this call outside of your blog and so, needless to say, without you I would not be anticipating my first piece to be published in a book (I have had a few things in magazines). I am a busy mom who is just getting back into writing and publishing, and your blog is the first I check every day.
In my book, you deserve top honors for the best writer's blog. Thanks again,
Lorri
Dear Lorri:
Thank you so much for this post! It's really gratifying to know when/if I've contributed to another writer's "practice," and what, in particular, has been most helpful.
And congratulations on your essay acceptance! Which book will your essay appear in?
Thank you again for posting your news!
Oops--sorry, Lorri! I've now realized you that you did specify which book. I remember posting a call for three of them. Congratulations, again!
