I’ve been thinking about Martha Hancock a lot. How she has that 40s film star vibe, a sort of Katherine Hepburn thing going. How she blow dried her amazing hair to face the world. How she has great taste in sunglasses. How much classier she is than Gina. What idiots men can be.

Does anyone agree that there should be a book publicist on this advisory group? They understand festivals better than anyone & are responsible for persuading authors to go. They pitch ideas for chairs, put panels together, and give festivals most of their social media support.
