Essay in Down East Magazine

Above is the link to an essay I wrote for the "My Maine" column of Down East Magazine. I wrote it last September for our writer's group, and with edit feedback from the group, my big sister Jo Grossmann (who is on the editorial committee of Open Spaces Magazine) and my dear husband Gary, I sent it off and was delighted when it was accepted. I wrote this when I first began querying in earnest and received my first important rejection from an agent to whom I had a referral.

The agents I pitched to at the Maine pitching session in June didn't ultimately pan out, though I highly recommend the experience. It gives you the chance to get instant reaction to your book concept, as well as your platform. I came away with feedback that helped me boost my query's effectiveness and have had a markedly stronger response ever since. Staying positive, I'm back in the game!
