Traveling to Texas - No Leads Today

Howdy!

I'm heading home to Texas today and Tuesday, so there won't be any leads posted those days. I'll catch up when I get home.

In the meantime, if you haven’t checked Ev Christensen’s Educational Markets for Children’s Writers since she initially posted the list you might want to drop by again. There have been more than 20 additions and updates. The link is also on the right side of this blog page.

There's no place like home!

Survey - Is This Blog Working For You?

One of the recent posts said to email me for contact information. An unexpected bonus of all those emails was that many of you took the time to tell me how much you liked my blog and whether you'd found work in these leads. I really appreciated that. In the spirit of community, I'd like to ask you to post a comment here to say whether you've found work through this blog. I know that some have and some haven't. You don't have to give details, but I thought it would be encouraging to others to see some success. If you've applied and haven't heard back from anyone, you should probably post that comment, too. It brings balance to the force...

Have you found work through this blog?
