Hey sweetie. Just a shout out and a thank you for posting these!
Snowleopard:
Hey Meg, how goes it with your YA? Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you.
More than glad to help. I get these emails and I see no reason why I shouldn't
let the writer types on the Forum know about possible markets.
Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year.
(A published one too!)
