If you're in NYC and write (or want to) about parenting, I strongly recommend this panel on October 3, sponsored by the Newswomen's Club. My friend Helaine Olen is moderating. Both she and Rachel are terrific -- and I'm sure the others are too. And if those newswomen don't have the damndest logo! Here are deets:Join the Newswomen's Club of New York at 6:30 pm on October 3rd, when we discuss the world of writing for parenting magazines. Our five guests -- all editors at nationally known parenting magazines -- will offer an overview of how to pitch, research and structure articles ranging from service pieces to personal essays. They'll also discuss what kinds of ideas do and don't work for their publications as well as answer questions from those in the audience.

D - You wonder why not live in a sleepy beach town? Cuz we don't get ANY panels as cool as the ones you get in NYC! Wow, wish I could beam over for a few.
And like a dork, I ended up missing it! Grrrr. So don't feel too bad, writermeeg. You still have the Pacific Ocean, which I miss...
