    Hey, folks,

    Kate is finally getting the recognition she deserves! Nic Sebastian, of Very Like a Whale fame, heard her story and decided to interview her.

    The interview went up today! Hurrah!

    http://verylikeawhale.wordpress.com/

    Here are a couple relevant excerpts:

    "I get discouraged and impatient when we haven’t had any good news for a few days. It usually spurs me on to send out more work. And when my lazy mule isn’t making enough progress, I coax him along with apples and sugar cubes."

    "By the time I send out a submission, I have done a great deal of research about the publication and editors. I always know who I’m jumping into bed with before I switch off the lights."

    All Hail Kate!

    Thanks,

    Bill

    This is fascinating, Bill. Your wife submits your work for you? Lucky man! And neat that she was interviewed.

    This is great! I really enjoyed reading this.
    A submission a day!!! Wow! I wish my other half would send out submissions for me. I hate sending out but of course I send out submissions whenever I feel like it. I use to be more displined!

    Great interview and congratulations to Kate!!! You too!!!

    Susan,

    It was a great day when those poems went up on the Istanbul Literary Review, long before I joined Fictionaut! There were actually five:

    http://www.ilrmagazine.net/poetry/issue17_po28.php
    http://www.ilrmagazine.net/poetry/issue17_po29.php

    I've never quite figured out how the archives work at ILR, and I'm not sure there's an "Authors Page" that lists me, so I have to do the links like that! ;)

    Thanks,

    Bill
