I just FINISHED the book I started making notes for in 1988.
I just read about your 3 upcoming publishing classes (Jan-March) in Nicole’s Seattle Times column today and attempted to sign up online only to discover they were all sold out.
WHAT NOW?
We’re happy to report that due to demand, we’ve already added a second session of this series. The new dates just one week behind the original series–so Jan 20, Feb 24, Mar 31. Here’s the link (note that it’s brand-new so it may take until later tonight before Brown Paper Tickets approves it). You’re one of the first to know!

I tried to register for the second session (especially the January 20th class) and found I could register for the last two but the first class was full. Is that correct? I had mistakenly thought I could show up at the door and pay for the session tomorrow night and am glad I checked your website before taking the ferry from Bainbridge!
The first class is full, unfortunately. You can e-mail us next week at jenandkerry@gmail.com and I can see if we can sneak you in for the 20th. Meanwhile, we did just add another set of talks so you could register for “Prepare to Get Published” on April 14: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/148537.
I am registered for tonight’s session @ 7pm @ Hotle 1000, but what time will it be over so my wife will know when to pick me up?
We plan on being done at 9!

I’m not sure why you didn’t receive an e-mail as we sent one out this morning, so we’re glad you checked! Yes, we are scheduled for Navigating the World of Publishing tomorrow evening at 7pm. See you then!
Yes, we’ll see you at 7pm on March 31 for the final session. (And we’ll double check your email address to see why you didn’t get your reminder!) Thanks.
