I don't think it will ever matter what stage of life I'm in. There will always be something exciting about Friday.
Today's something exciting? These amazing donors.

Marie Meyer was a Language Arts teacher for fourteen years. She spends
her days in the classroom and her nights writing heartfelt new adult romances

Louis Writers Guild. Marie’s short fiction won honorable mentions from the St.
Louis Writers Guild in 2010 and 2011. She is a proud mommy and enjoys helping

her husband.

Dannie Morin
Dannie Morin is an addictions therapist with a writing problem. By day
she alternates between counseling teens and wrangling a very sassy toddler. By
night she writes, critiques, and edits like a boss. When she’s not doing those
things, she’s a compulsive participant in the Carolinas Region of SCBWI and a
regular Snarky Sue in online Pitch Contests. Dannie pens young adult and new
adult fiction in Charlotte, North Carolina. She is represented by John M.
Cusick of The Greenhouse Literary Agency.

Emmanuelle Morgen
Emmanuelle Morgen joined Stonesong as an agent in January 2012.
Previously she was an agent at Judith Ehrlich Literary and Wendy Sherman
Associates, and an editor at Fodor’s, the travel division of Random House. She
enjoys developing long-term relationships with her clients, working closely
with them to build their literary careers.
Emmanuelle represents adult and children’s fiction, as well as
narrative nonfiction in the areas of memoir, psychology, sociology, and popular
science. In children’s books, she is looking for young adult and middle grade
novels. In adult books, she is looking for women’s fiction, historical fiction,
romance, and a certain type of thriller in which a team of people or a
partnership battle impossible odds.
Donation: 30 Page Critique
A former PR executive who abandoned a successful career to pursue a
more fulfilling life, Maria Murnane is the best-selling author of the Waverly
Bryson series (Perfect on Paper, It’s a
Waverly Life, Honey on Your Mind, and Chocolate
for Two), as well as Cassidy Lane,
Katwalk, and Wait for the Rain. At her speaking engagements she shares the “story
behind the story,” an entertaining tale of courage, passion and perseverance that
has inspired audiences across the country to follow their dreams – no matter
what.

Donation #2: 30 Minute Call Discussing the Road to Publishing
Next week will be the last of donor introductions, with the following week being auction guidelines and the auction itself! Due to the unprecedented generosity this year (more people keep contacting me with donations!), starting now we're going to have to abandon the three donors a day model. So, check back in next week for donors galore!
