Thanks!

A big thanks to Dianna Graveman for letting me speak to her Lindenwood University MFA class earlier this week – a great group of women who were fun and interesting! Good luck to all of you in your writing and publishing careers.


Dianna also took the time to write a wonderful article on her blog, to which I’ve included a link:

There is a strong community of writers in and around St. Louis, and I am always impressed by the willingness of that group to share information and support each other. Writing can be a lonely process, and we all face similar issues in our struggle to publish our work. I am thankful to be involved in a group that celebrates success, and encourages each other when we suffer from the lows of rejections.

Talk to you soon,

Mary
