I'm proud to say I'm standing for the board of the Society of Authors. I hope you'll consider voting for me. I have experienced the best and worst the publishing industry offers writers today, and - if elected - I will do my best to confront those challenges.

Are any of my friends (and by that I mean someone who has met me and doesn’t actively hate me) a member of the National Liberal Club?
