As an Aussie who worked in the book trade for many years. WELL DONE. I know exactly how hard it is for any writer to get published. I am not very familiar with the workings of magazine companies, however, this is really excellent. It bodes well for your future. So jump up and down, celebrate, go crazy...but get back to writing, don't stop, don't give up and submit, submit, submit.

Oh, I almost forgot...as we are quilters...isn't there a quilt with this story/theme/magazine, just waiting to be put together. I mean, Roald Dahl used a hut with a blanket writing board etc. Maybe our Lady Shivesa needs to make a literary quilt?

How exciting! Congratulations.

My daughter had an article she wrote published in Colorlines ( a magazine on race and politics) a couple of years ago. I'm still so proud of that achievement. I know her talent, can presume of all the efforts she puts in. When I read about you being published, all my emotions of that happy moment for a mother came back. Enjoy that moment fully and I wish that this is the first of many more to come.

Ditto. That is sooo wonderful. Post a pic of the magazine cover once it comes out. That way maybe we can find it up here.

TX GMimi 10-23-2010 05:35 PM

Way to go!!!!! I think a scream is in order - I wouldn't care who heard it!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: And if you can't scream - bring out the dark chocolates!!

Go ahead and scream. The one time I was published I was in grad school and the professor put the wrong last name for me and thought it was funny.
