Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself... looks like a great community here.

Yep, I'm a journalist surfing the current newspaper tsunamis while writing a nonfiction book.

I'm working with an agent but out of courtesy won't mention her name until we sign, hopefully in a few weeks.

Also have written a novel and a half but they're in a drawer until the agent tells me the dust has settled in the current publishing world upheaval.

Over the years I've been a small magazine publisher and editor, and an investigative and crime reporter, so if there's any help I can offer along those lines, I'm happy to share. For what it's worth...;)

Look forward to "meeting" you all.

Welcome Gatita,

I'm in the same boat -- journalist desperately clinging to his job. The book I'm currently pitching is my Plan B in case I get the pink slip because I know nobody is hiring right now.
