Congratulations on getting accepted into publishing! Gee, I didn’t even know a publishing program existed! It didn’t when I went to university, or i would have taken it! If you can, you’ll have to keep your blog up so we can see what it’s like from the other side of the publishing business. I used to work in bookstores, so i know about book buying and marketing somewhat, and midlists etc, but to be able to approach it from a publisher’s point of view – interesting. I’m very happy for you!

Thanks for all of the congrats, guys (and gals)!!! I really appreciate it. I’m really looking forward to this. Just think of all the free books I’ll get. … Wait, that might not be a good thing…

Congratulations! Anytime you need a reference in the field for any research you’re doing, please feel free to contact me (I’m sure I won’t be any help at all, but I love the idea of being a point of reference). And thanks for your thoughts on ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL, which is on my March reading list. I can see I’m probably going to have the same sorts of quibbles.

I have this book at home, but have not started to read it yet. I am more curious now with so much talk about eating within a 100 mile radius and eating only locally grown. I will have to start this book.

Woo-Hoo! Congratulations!

I agree about Kingsolver’s book. The nude beach comment pissed me off too. I lived in Germany for several years in my early ’20’s, and saw plenty of naked people in public. It was not pleasant at all! Some of the “great unclothed” were totally hideous, and there were a few times when I had to look away in horror. Put your clothes on, circus freaks!

One million kudos for being accepted! Maybe you’ll give us (your faithful readers) the heads up on new books to look for?

Congratulations!

You make an excellent point about the price of organic food; for low-income shoppers, it’s simply not an option.
