Sent off a quick email query this morning and by afternoon I had an assignment from a new women’s newsletter. I love it when things come together so easily!
Yippee! You’ll have to send us a link, Susan. Congrats.

The response has been pretty good so far—1 rejection (they already covered a related topic), 2 possible-to-likely responses, and 2 acceptances—including one just today for an $850 assignment!
Wow, an $850 assignment? That’s fantastic! And my check will be arriving when? Just kidding…
