NYMysteries – Feb. 22<\/p>\n

I belong to Sisters in Crime, a writing group devoted to promoting women crime writers. D. M. Barr the author of Expired Listings,<\/em> and Slashing Mona Lisa<\/em> gave a generous and informative account of what you have to do to be published: everything from evaluating small presses, evaluating a contract, guest blogging opportunities to a free course on List Building for Authors. D. M. worked in real estate and understands and enjoys marketing (!). She said she\u2019ll write a book and then spend a year marketing it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      3. New York City activist Ravi Ragbir was quoted in The Guardian.<\/p>\n

      Ragbir, the executive director of the New Sanctuary Coalition said at a rally outside NYC\u2019s ICE office that a a fear of ICE would not stop him from speaking out. He has turned to lawsuits to legalize his claims.<\/p>\n

      \u201cIt\u2019s just very uncertain and very traumatizing to know the government is watching you,\u201d Ravi said. \u201cBut I can\u2019t allow that to debilitate me \u2026 If they\u2019re going to move me, I might as well fight as hard as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

      This is the link to The Guardian\u2019s article about the targeting of journalists and immigration activists.<\/p>\n
