ReplyDeleteThank you again Molly--for everything! You are so awesome! *reaches through the screen to hug you* :)
I really enjoyed the live chat on Thursday. Thank you for your insights - they were invaluable!
ReplyDeleteHi Molly!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across this blog today, and I'm delighted to see your still working in children's publishing. We worked together when you were at Clarion and I just published my first picture book.
Hope your doing well!

ReplyDeleteAnd hello/welcome/happy writing to everyone else, too!
The WriteOnCom was terrific, and I loved your vlog and your session on giving yourself permission! Thank you, to you and all the other presenters, for sharing your time and expertise with us.
ReplyDeleteCame across this blog through Sarah Janes blog. I was wondering if you could possibly give me some advice about the publishing world? I have no idea where to start, and Sarah mentioned you were a great mentor.
