 Here's a place to comment, share review experiences (good and bad), and generally applaud or lash out at all those *&E#T% reviewers....oops, getting off-track here...and I'm a reviewer. Oy.

 So, have you got something to share? Thanks!

Helen, read the essay (you'll find it on the home page) and you'll see my experience...when someone posts "Has she never heard of an editor?"...or something equally icky...it's an initiation into the club. Your turn!

Thanks, Victoria, for your funny and hopeful article. As we were reading the first draft together and giggling at the reviews, Ivory said to me, "This is the fun part of this job." She was right.
