Meet the Honorable Mention
Congratulations to Justine Tal Goldberg for winning Honorable Mention in the 2009 Meet the Authors contest, as judged by literary luminaries E.L. Doctorow (Ragtime, The March, and the freshly-released Homer and Langley) and Peter Matthiessen (one of my all-time favorite writers). Justine submitted the first chapter of her novel-in-progress, Opening Umbrellas Indoors. And, to be honest, she probably should’ve been the one to meet the authors.
I’d want to meet her, were I to read it (had I not already met her, and not already read it).
