Back in the ston age I wrote a childrens picture book that was published by Lothrup. I also was a speaker in some writers conferences at Oakland University. It was great fun. I hope you'll try all the wonderful things available to you in New York. What an exciting adventure!lynn arborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090795761047856740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844345395685757271.post-42502663708462864452012-05-27T11:40:01.881-07:002012-05-27T11:40:01.881-07:00Thank you, Liz.Thank you, Liz.lynn arborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090795761047856740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844345395685757271.post-14381093209880594952012-05-27T11:37:39.002-07:002012-05-27T11:37:39.002-07:00I'm honored that you, one of the most courageo...I'm honored that you, one of the most courageous people I know, wrote this.

It is hard enough to deal with the rejection of a piece of art but you usually have other pieces that you can comfort yourself with and think 'I should have known better and submitted this other piece'. A book is months and months of work and to get is rejected must be very discouraging. So, I really admire your spunk. I think I would have been devastated and given up. So congratulations to you for surviving this so well and for simply getting up and continuing on. That is strong character!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439731630581360468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844345395685757271.post-89517087859323839792012-05-26T08:46:04.421-07:002012-05-26T08:46:04.421-07:00Good luck, Lynn.

And congratulations on completing your memoir.<br /><br />I haven't been able to publish a book yet, but now I'm working on rewriting a children's middle grade novel I wrote 8 years ago. I got advice from children's writer Charlotte Herman 8 years ago, and then put it aside. Herman attended a children's author festival I coordinated. I got up the courage to have her read it, and she was very generout to talk with me on the phone about ways I could improve it. She also said nice things about it that were encouraging.<br /><br />Maybe you could join a writers group to get feedback. Here in New York, there's a Gotham Writers Workshop that offers classes and manuscript reads. They also do classes online. You could look it up. I haven't used them yet.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LizElizabeth Vosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341957703355505856noreply@blogger.com
