I was sitting in the HR office at Putnam-Berkley, waiting to be escorted to my desk, to begin working for my new boss, the Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Putnam.

Neil wasn't quite sure what to make of me -- he was more used to the traditional Trust Fund Babes of Publishing. I suppose it was fated that we only work together for six months, before I jumped sideways to the mass market division,
and from there on to genre infamy.

What a long strange road it still is. *grin*

(there's a disagreement about if I can still count as being "in publishing." Does freelancing count?)

Absolutely.

That is, if you WANT to be considered "in publishing." ;)

Nice icon! Drink up!

It counts.

Dude, that icon actually does kinda look like you. (Where do you get those, anyway?)

If freelancing doesn't count, wouldn't that mean that only 3.5 people actually "work in publishing"?

I'm not convinced that anyone is working in publishing right now... If the speed of my next contract is any indicator.... %^)
