Same as Vol. 2: None. After all these years.
All it takes is a little bit of encouragement, and the careers of great writers are launched.
Just one woman.
I was looking for vol. one...couldn't find it, thanks. Here's the 200 authors:

Book Description
OK, who's going to contact these 200 authors for a follow-up interview in order to write the sequel:
200 Authors in Search of the Maryland Attorney General
I'd feel horrible contributing a book into the public like this, it is purely a marketing ploy to the families of the 250 authors. Imagine, 250 authors in Mothers of Writing who included 250 mothers in essays and stories. Those 250 authors would want a copy, plus the mothers (still living) and family of those women. Grandkids, aunts, uncles, fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, cousins...the list was endless for a probably 2 page (at the most) of each woman. $20.00*250 authors and 250 mothers...lots of money!
$10,000 for just those people...add to that husbands, sons, grandparents! Ten thousand from just the willing two people who had a book published with PA and those moms who let their story be published in the book. The book is nearly 300 pages in both volumes, that means around 2 pages for each mom.
I love how the positive reviewers are either from PA authors or their friends.
That's because the only people who've ever heard of it are PA authors and their friends. Same as any other PA book, really. And the audience is the same: PA authors and their friends.
If they actually sold 200 copies of this book that would make it a wild success from PA's point of view.
And a summary of the insightful reviews on the Amazon page:

I dunno. I removed the identifying names and dates. Maybe a mod can step in here and fix or remove the post if necessary. Thanks for the heads up.I'm not sure you want to copy Amazon reviews here. Aren't they the property of Amazon?
