Writer Anecdotes Wanted

Jeffrey Skinner and Leslie McGrath at Sarabande Books are working on a project about the careers of poets and literary prose writers. How do poets and other literary writers move ahead in their careers (other than via their blazing talent?) This is your chance to share the anecdotes you’ve only told your closest friends. The editors are interested only in the stories, not in names and places. They offer anonymity and gratitude in exchange. And, if they use your anecdote, a free copy of the resulting book. Please email your anecdotes to mcgrath.leslie-at-gmail.com by July 1, 2010 under the heading “Book Anecdote.”
