Any MidListers out there?


The angst, the misery! It's never enough! emoticon

You receive fine notices in The New York Times Book Review and The Cleveland Plain Dealer, but nothing in The Wall Street Journal or Book­forum. Why? It is not the negative reviews that rankle but the nonreviews. There is a picture in my mind of some book review editor who holds my latest book in his hands and decides, “Nah, skip it.” Some of these people I run into at holiday parties and literary events. How can these traitors look me in the eye? How can they sleep at night, those cowards, those bozos?

Link doesn't work for me, Kitty.

But I've had conversations with multi-published mid-list novelists and their lives, at least monetarily, ain't easy. It can be much like a hamster in a wheel - pedal like mad to stay put.

Says Frank: Link doesn't work for me, Kitty.

Whoops! That's because some dork posted a goofball address. emoticon

Another try:
