Billy Mernit: WRITING THE ROMANTIC COMEDY, 20TH ANNIVERSARY UPDATED & EXPANDED EDITION
CUT TO THE CHASE: Writing Feature Films with the Pros at UCLA Extension Writers' Program
I contributed two chapters to this useful book about how to write feature films, edited by Linda Venis, in collaboration with fellow UCLA Extension Writers' Program instructors: it's crammed with good info.
CHERISHED: 21 Writers on Animals They Have Loved and Lost
Judith Lewis Mernit and I contributed essays to this book, along with Jane Smiley, Thomas McGuane, and Anne Lamott, among others. Editor Barbara Abercrombie put it together, it's available on Amazon for a mere 10 bucks and change, and all proceeds go to an animal rescue charity.
Because I didn't manage to say it before: CONGRATULATIONS. I'm so excited to see your book in print! I can't wait to read it. I may even buy myself a copy. ;)

I'm with MaryAn, I want mine autographed too, BUT in this case I can trump her--I bought a new copy of "Writing the Romantic Comedy" when I bought "Imagine Me and You" through your Amazon.com link. So the next time I see ya, Billy, I can get TWO things signed, right?

I'm LOVING reading this novel - Congratulations, Billy. Who needs BLOOMSFELD after this? (Bloomsburg? Bloomswhatever.)

True, E.C. My Writing the Rom Com book is old, dog-eared and green tea stained so I don't think ink would stick.

Thanks, Jamy, but... "May even?" MAY even?!
MaryAn, let's figure out a way to make that happen.
EC: Ab-so-LUTE-ly.
Sharon: I'm loving that you're loving it.
