Michelle,

I really enjoyed your reading on Sat. and am now halfway through your book. Which isbeen so helpful!

I was feeling a bit bleak about my prospects starting out as a freelance writer in this economy, and visions of slinging overpriced fish at a snooty restaurant for the rest of my life were dancing through my head, until your positivity rang through.

I was wondering if you could recommend any local freelance networking groups?

Thanks,
Heidi Schiller

Unfortunately I’m in Ohio, but will be moving to Seattle in July.
