Yay, Jilli!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Yay, Jilli! I can't wait to read it.

A belated "Yay!" to Jilli. I am not at all surprised. Now I'm just waiting for it to come out, so that I can give copies to all my friends. They already have copies of Vampire People.

Editor question: "mission-driven" or "mission driven"?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
How's it being used in the sentence? If it's something like "mission-driven goals", then it's hyphenated because it's an adjective.

Because books.
What Dana said. Most hyphenation is placement- and use-dependent.

I would use the hyphen there, sarameg.
Also, cool job!

Not for me, but for a friend. It would be an AWESOME job for her and one finally worthy of her skillset.

Definitely hyphen. What kind of artists? misson-driven artists. It's two words used as one unit.
