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"?

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.

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

Resume for a non-profit: "To lead a team of mission driven artists with the common goal of enriching children and young people with the power of the arts. "

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.

It is for a children's art institute non-profit. Mission statement: "[x] provides meaningful experiences in the arts taught by outstanding and loving educators, inspiring the children of the [location] to understand and develop attitudes and values contributing to a stronger sense of community, humanity and good will. Every child in the [location] will personally benefit by participating in an educational opportunity through [x]."

I so want that job. Wow.
