RSS FeedThe Girdles are Back!
I invite you to read the 99 Girdles page of this web site. It’s all new stuff!
For the past 4 months I have been working with a free-lance editor in town, Tom Orton. With his excellent suggestions, I have found a *narrative arc,* re-organized the entire book and re-written much of it, including the beginning. I will be re-submitting– with crossed fingers–to St Martin’s Press sometime this month. I would love to hear your comments.
Oh, yes! It’s really — smoother. So the gritty bits sting more. Nice. I hope St. Martin’s steps up. I’m enjoying your rebirth.
Well done Elena! Keep us posted!
Um, what’s a manny in the 99 girdles??
A manny is a male nanny.
Oh, Elena, it’s wonderful. It made me cry.
I read the original version and found it absorbing and appalling (not the writing, but the mom behavior). Sounds like it’s even stronger now.
