Pingback: | Oregon Christian Writers
I dropped my kid off for a snow day when this conference was in progress. A lady walked by, asked if I was a writer, I told her yes. She asked if I was there for the conference, I said no. She said she was an editor.
I was wondering if I could get in contact with her. I think she’ll remember me as I was setting in a padded pew on the side of the entry way there. I wore a poofy (down) green winter coat and my hair is red.
I will be in need of an editor sometime soon, and Handsome (my husband) suggested the good Lord knew what he was doing & I ought to check out the Christian Writers web site.
With Respect,
Michelle Priddy
