New mod here

[absolutewrite]

Hey all,

As you can see (I hope), I've been busy making changes and additions to these boards. One of the changes is that I've asked Victoria Strauss to be the moderator of the Bewares and Background Check board. You know Victoria as one of the women behind Writer Beware. She's a strong advocate for writers who works her tush off to keep writers out of trouble.

Thanks for being with us, Victoria!

Best to all,
Jenna

Thank you Victoria for agreeing to moderate and keep this board as informative as it is.

Thank you Jenna for the wonderful service you provide to newbies and established authors.

You go girl, Victoria. It's quite a board to mod!

Thanks for the welcome, folks (and HConn, thanks for the plug...). This is a new experience for me--I've never moderated a message board before. Should be interesting!

Excellent choice with Victoria. She is extremely fair, balanced and bright.

Congrats Victoria. You're one of the best people for the job, I think :)

It'll be OK Granny. She's got people at her back.
