yeah...after that initial rejection from Chronicle Books, I've been kicking it into high gear trying to get as many article queries out there as possible.

I've already sent some today to ReadyMade, OG, Wired and Salon.com. I feel as if I can manage to keep sending article ideas to at least 10 magazines a day, someone will bite.

And I'm sending the proposal off to Rockport Publishers tomorrow. But if they're not interested, then I send it off to the next publisher..and the next.

I'm not gonna give up if I can help it.

yeah I plan on sending my proposal off to the publisher denise suggested to see if they bite.

Get back on that horse, right?

Also I need to send out about 15 article queries this week to OG, Readymade, Martha's Living, Book and a few others.

whew.

No tips, I'm afraid, but a hug hug of empathy. I'm still just jealous that you finished yours.

also, do you know that if you click that subscribe button towards the upper left, that you will have any comments to that entry emailed to you?

i'm thinking I might try to focus on publishing parts on the book in funky DIY craft mags like ReadyMade until a publisher or agent says yes.

if any of you writers out there have suggestions, I'm all ears.
