But there are always new sprouts sprouting - and this one at the sproutiest time of year.Gretchen Woelflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350500006005970433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-2606431347697399342012-03-26T09:59:47.630-04:002012-03-26T09:59:47.630-04:00David,

I've had that same looking pumpkin on my porch every Halloween or shortly thereafter year after year! Best of luck to you and your new publisher. As for the publishing scene, it can be depressing to think about how it's all changed over the years. But I don't blame it all on Harry Potter. Way back in the 70s, some houses began turning the decision to publish over to the marketing department people, which meant editors couldn't just take a flyer on something new and odd (or rotten, in the very best way). I remember an editor (this was around 1985) calling me to say she was filling out the p & l form for one of my projects and asking what books my book was like so the acquistions committee could compare them all and forecast sales! I said, "None, I hope," which needless to say wasn't the answer the committee wanted to hear. But as long as there are people like Marissa Moss in the world there's hope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724255232058112413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-45423249583352549342012-03-26T08:31:11.874-04:002012-03-26T08:31:11.874-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653106775702366387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-39899492457324940532012-03-26T08:13:49.505-04:002012-03-26T08:13:49.505-04:00Great news, David.

We, too, are in the process of fundraising to take us to the next level. The new focus on the Common Core Standards is a game-changer for our genre and the future of iNK Think Tank. We are in an extraordinary position to catch this wave.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214356318088069618noreply@blogger.com
