Thank you so much for this peek into how even a seasoned writer can have struggling times whilst writing a book, and I'm sure many magic moments along the way. I'm planning to write a book about the life I've had which my child thinks would be amazing and they have finally encouraged me to start, which I am planning to do when I come out of the rough patch I'm in at the moment. I'll get out of it, I always do, which will be very soon, and it will be dedicated to my baby. Your book is on my wish list and I will buy it as soon as I can. Best. Theresa Avenant from the bottom tip of Africa, with love to the Ink and all it stands for.

I am just thrilled beyond words! I delight in learning how someone thinks, whether I agree with them or not. I subscribe to the Ink because you often tell us what you’re thinking. Like why that ad that singled out “real” New Yorkers bothered you. I live for that kind of stuff! So revealing the inner life of this book through your eyes will be priceless. Than you so much! I live in SW Florida, so I am grateful you’re making a way for me to be at 92Y.

Will your meeting with those who’ve pre-ordered your book, but are unavailable to join live, be available subsequent to the live event

I imagine we can make that happen!

I preordered from a bookstore in Denver, where I live. Does this count to have access to what I wasn't supposed to see? Thanks!

Will the 92Y event be available to watch, for those of us who can't be there? I've preordered the book and have appreciated all the sharing you've done about process. Thank you for the work you do on so many levels.

THANK YOU for sharing your work! For the benefit of those of us who live outside NYC, will your interview be taped and shown on YouTube or elsewhere?

I enjoyed listening to your commentary on the writing of your book. I share similar sentiments regarding the subject of writing, thinking about and finally choosing what I will include in my co-authored book. I have preordered your book on Amazon. Thanks for your intensity and courage to explore politically sensitive and controversial topics. Joe Davis
