Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer
Three quick notes from my desk.
1. Received this week: my contributor copy of Mishkan HaSeder: A Passover Haggadah.

2. You can also find “Dayenu” in my collection Birthright, which this week received a beautiful new review from book blogger/reviewer Angie Mangino.
3. As far as newer work is concerned—if you follow me on Twitter you may have caught a disclosure about my recently-completed picture-book manuscript. I was compelled to share it was part of last week’s #PBPitch event. So far, my tweet hasn’t seemed to inspire any agents/publishing people to reach out.
But I’m still waiting to hear back from the publisher who’s had the ms since mid-December, and hope springs eternal!

Good luck with the picture book! Waiting is so hard! Did you provide the pictures as well, or just the text?
Alas, I am only an author–not an illustrator. Typically the publisher matches the two, unless the creator is that rare combo bird.
