Preliminary congratulations, Amy, more to come after you spill the details.

Barb, Amy, can I have new calves? Cause I really think I could get better bylines if I were buff. Did you eat today? Take your supplements? (/Drama)

Because books.
I think certain areas of publishing are still doing fine, and YA just happens to be one of them. And the areas of publishing that are suffering are the same ones that have been following that curve for a couple of years.
The economy does make a difference, of course, but publishing goes through this all the time. It's very cyclical.

It's wonderful to hear all the good news.
I'm hoping to get to the soul crushing rejection phase at some point. Right now, I'm just trying to find revision time and hoping for feedback when I open up my inbox (alas, none recently).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
and YA just happens to be one of them

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
