I interned at Pocket in college. I knew each of them-- Ms. Burke, Ms. Crawford, and Ms. McKenna. They are all great people. Maggie Crawford is big. She should be fine getting something. She was Connie Brockway's editor in the 90s. Responsible for editing all her RITA winners. (I'm pretty sure all of them.) Wow. I interned at Pocket in college.

I think it's a fantastic method.
