Go congratulate my dear friend Kelli on her win of the White Pine Book award! I told her, the weirdest thing was, the night before she found out, I dreamed she won a book prize. I had the wrong publisher, so I’m not completely pyschic, but still…

I’m very excited for her, and here are a few things I really like about her press: they print beautiful books (which I know because another friend, Susan Rich, has published with them) and they have excellent distribution with Consortium. They seem committed to their authors. These things make a huge difference, in the long run, in author happiness. I can’t wait to get a copy of Letters from the Emily Dickinson Room!
