Brian,

I received an email from G&M Facts and Arguments this week and they tell me they plan to publish a piece I sent in back at the end of July.  Very excited!  Your advice on getting work out there and your suggestions for places to submit have been excellent.  I never would have done it without your encouragement.  Thank you.

Regards,

Jennifer Smith

Note: The Globe and Mail published Jennifer’s piece, “Ghosting is no way to end a relationship,” on October 27. Read it here.
