Last week, I interviewed Laura Purdie Salas about the marketing she did for her picture book Stampede! Poems to Celebrate the Wild Side of School. I entered everybody who left a comment in a contest for Laura’s book. This morning, I crumpled up all the little pieces of paper and picked one out of the bowl.

And the winner is…JENNIFER BEASLEY!!!!!

Congratulations, Jennifer. Email me your snail mail address at beckylevine at ymail dot com, and I’ll get this wonderful book out to you ASAP.

And a heads up for any of you who are writing, or thinking about writing, a memoir. A week from Friday, I’ll be doing a teleseminar with Linda Joy Myers about critiquing memoir, over at the National Association of Memoir Writers (NAMW). You’ll find details here about getting in on the teleseminar.

Hope everyone’s writing week is going well!
