Sherri, click on the link in Rhodi's (Songbird) last post. You'll see a list.

Ah Pam, I am not on the list of contributors. What happened? I have already posted it on my resume.

Hi Sherri.....your name (and many others) doesn't appear on the list but that's not because your poems aren't in the collection. I have double-checked. Rhodi I have sent you a private message regarding your issue so PLEASE respond ASAP!

I'm sorry that the publisher has not listed each and every contributor (over 40 writers) on the website, and if I was in charge there (thank heavens I'm NOT!!!!!) I would either put ALL the names or none of the names - not SOME of the names!!!

Maybe it's a good thing I was just a volunteer for this brand new poetry press - their growing pains have caused me a few pains of my own believe me!!!!!

Pam,

Thanks for checking that for me. I appreciate it and can't wait to have a poem come out in the same book with so many of my friends!!

Sherri

Pam: I just sent you the requested info. Thanks for everything.

God bless!

Got it Rhodi!!! THANK YOU and keep your fingers and toes crossed.....

I've asked the person who's formatting/finalizing the manuscript if he has any "ballpark" on printing - let's see if I can pin him down?!?!?!

Hey, Pam. Did you let that guy out of that headlock yet???

Ladies - I know it seems like this is NEVER EVER going to really happen ("Cosmic Brownies" getting into print that is) but it REALLY TRULY is. I got an email message from the publisher last night that they had FINALLY received a written release from Maya Angelou's agent to include the poem she herself submitted to the collection. Sun Rising Poetry Press would have printed the collection WITHOUT her poem but really wanted it in there (for obvious reasons) so this is good news.

This wait has been very frustrating for ALL of us who contributed our work to Sun for their various anthologies.....I know that - believe me I do. I do BELIEVE publication and our receipt of our "free" copies as contributors is IMMINENT. Honest I do....really.....truly.....

Thanks for the update! I think a lot of us are thrilled to wait for the inclusion of Ms. Angelou!

Doh...who is Maya Angelou??
