Yay, Jilli! I can't wait to read it.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.
