		<description>Thanks for educating us readers on some of the finer points of publishing. I envy poeple who can write i can&#039;t and wish I could. So rejecting folks would be hard for me to do. Do most editors try their hand at writing.</description>

		<description>Thank you for all of your answers Stacy. I know that I appreciate all of the time and thought you&#039;ve put into them, it certainly gave me a lot to think about.

I have only one simple question today - is it &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; the kiss of death to have a manuscript in first person? Some excellent books, series even, have been done in first person, yet in bold letters on nearly every &quot;submission guideline&quot; is NO FIRST PERSON.

Why? Drat...that was two questions. Hope you understand that it probably is one question all the same :)</description>

		<description>Hi Stacy,

Thanks again for answering our questions and providing us with insight. I don&#039;t think this one has been asked yet ... Is it really OK to submit without an agent? Although, one might think having one may improve one&#039;s chances of getting out of the slush pile.

BTW, Caridad, I really enjoyed More Than A Mission and I&#039;m Looking forward to the sequel.</description>

		<description>Hey Stacy nice to meet you *waves*... I&#039;m not a writer but rather just a reader but it is sure is interesting to read about all the in&#039;s and out&#039;s on publishing a book! Gosh sometimes as a fan you tend to forget about what goes in in producing and releasing a book ... all we demand from our authors is more more more *lol* Thanks for shedding some light.</description>
