I am writing to comment on your 8 year old who is wanting to write a book. When our daughter who was also 8 at the time showered desire to write, I looked for places that were publishing children's original works. There were only one or two I could find. My husband I decided to start our own magazine of children's literature at my daughter's school, your old stomping grounds District 28 in Northbrook. We called it the Meadowbrook writer. We published 3-4 times a year. Every child in the school was able to be published at least once during the year. It is one of my greatest joys and memories.
That is amazing. Do you have any copies of the publication? I'd love to see it. I've found in teaching writing that giving students an outlet for their work pay huge dividends in terms of the time and attention they bring to the task.
I'm sure I do. I would have to dig them out. I will get back to you to let you know what I find and then you can let me know if you would just like a copy of one or what you were hoping for. Thanks for you enthusiasm and quick response.
I found one of our issues. I will have a copy made for you if you tell me where to send it. Thanks for your interest and enthusiasm. By the way you also made a recommendation for my husband , " Last night at the Lobster". He finished it last night.
I sent two different issues as attachments to the email address associated with your site. I hope you receive them. Let me know if you won't mind. Thanks.
I am catching up on reading newsletters and so happy I didn't skip this one. I feel the exact same about influencing myself by reading other reviews. I try to avoid them altogether until I've finished reading (sometimes I don't even read the summary of the book beforehand) because I'm so nervous I'm going to absorb someone else's opinion of it.
I also love how transparent you are with the newsletter's finances and where it's going—it makes the reading experience that much more enjoyable!
I’ve been reading NYTs The Morning religiously for a few years and until recently I had been gladly drinking it up as fact. Perhaps not so strange that my questioning can also be traced back to the very same article you reference regarding us liberals’ ongoing fear of COVID - fears that last well beyond the lingering effects of being boosted. More than just the feeling of “he ain’t talkin’ ‘bout me”, I realized the man behind the curtain had no idea what he was on about. I have since pivoted to letting The Morning Brew reflect my feelings back to me every day over coffee. Great article :)

We found some. My husband is going to make a pdf for you and we'll email. them.
Thank you so much. I can't wait to see them.

I don't see them. Did you use biblioracle@substack.com? That should work unless the attachments are getting swept up in a spam blocker.
Ok I'll work on it.
Ok resent. I think I sent it to the wrong address.

Glad you had a nice vacation!
