Hey Becky, I see you are a librarian and like to review books? Would you be interested in reviewing children's books for an online publisher, making sure the books pass content and contribution guidelines?

Hi, do you know how to go about getting a book published? I just stumbled upon JacketFlap by accident. I've been posting my book (it's not finished yet) on xanga (also under shadow320) if you'd like to read it. Please, let me know what you think. Do you think I have a shot?

Great to "meet" you. You sound busy and happy. I'm a fan of librarians. I spent years in those shoes, and I appreciate all you do for kids.
Monster kisses and dinohugs,
Deb

Becky, I wrote my book Nobody Left Behind One Child's Story About Testing because of my concerns about the NCLB Act on our public schools. It's written for middle grade students, but arguably for adults. Would you be a friend?
