Thanks for sharing this questionnaire. I like what Ronit has to say about so many aspects of writing, including (maybe especially) how it takes perseverance. She is a generous presence in the literary world, and I appreciate that, too!

P.S.: I, too am a Writer and a Teacher (“Rewired*). What I have done, including that, is my true life story. I am a very little known Civil Rights/Disability Rights pioneer.

Please assist and provide me with your contact information; thank you and have a Happy Holiday!

I, too want/am trying to write my first book, actually 4, and could use all the help and guidance that I can find. Any recommendations or resources, please? Yes, I am a professional Writer already, but am new to the world of book writing.

I don't have time to help you individually, but if you read this newsletter regularly, you'll notice all kinds of publications and publishers mentioned, and you'll read about various kinds of paths people took toward publishing their memoirs. Best of luck!
