I used this site several times in preparation for an agents' conference I attended in June (Writers' League of Texas). I pitched a middle reader/young adult novel at the conference and was invited to send a partial to two agents (one "no thank you" thus far). I'm at work on an adult novel, and I also write SHORT personal essays. I'm new to the world of trying to get my "stuff" out there. My day job for many years has been as a technical editor of books and journals on biological and resource management topics--my other day job is mother of two adolescent boys and general household manager.

Welcome to AW. Although not down a dirt road, this place is paved with valuable information.

Hi there, Eva. Welcome! Hey, did you happen to bring any decent barbecue to AW? I'm too long gone from Texas.

I sure do miss all the wonderful Mexican restaurants I frequented in Houston. {sigh} There's no good ones here in St. Petersburg
But Eva, a big "hi" from TampaBay.

Even better, my dirt road is named The Low Road
Thank you all for your greetings.
I've had a morning of distractions, so now to work!
