you go girl! This looks great and I have you bookmarked. You will be my first blog friend that I’ve responded to. i worked on a dig at Winchester Cathedral at the age of 12 with my brother who was studying at U. of London. I washed pottery with a tooth bursh and then I got dig out trash holes. I need to spill out to you all the plot development retreats, how to books, workshops, etc. to see if you know them or any of the instructors. What I’m doing from your advice (first person and plot borrowing) seems good, maybe I should keep going. Write me when your not blog entering. I’m interested to know how you like the experience. –Nancy
Libby, you are such an inspiration. Your book still sits on my dresser and every now and then I pick it up to reflect on my Bryn Mawr days. You are an amazing writer, and for those who had the privilege of knowing you, you are an amazing mother, wife and friend…Blessing from Boston…
Hi Elizabeth,
A long-overdue note to say that I loved your novel (the first scene at Bryn Mawr captures the dynamics of a guy on campus in the 80s perfectly) and have since come to your site and am enjoying your writings. One of my 14-year old daughters discovered the book too which facilitated a very interesting discussion about family, love, learning and more. Hope another novel is in the offing!
Hi Libby,
I just want to say it was great meeting you and talking to you at the KidLit night in NYC on Friday! Hopefully we’ll meet again, maybe at some regional SCBWI events. Take care!
hi libby! i have thought of you often lo these many years and have always missed staying friends. i am so thrilled your life turned out as you planned (of course!) and it seems you have become a wonderful mother and talented writer. i look forward to reading your book and following your blog. feel free to reconnect. with love, jane
Hi Elizabeth,
I have to say, when I was twelve years old, I read My Life as a Girl. Five years later, when I was seventeen, I applied to a little known college called Bryn Mawr precisely because I had heard of it in your book. I spent three of my years at Bryn Mawr as class president, and I worked in the Admission Office for the entirety of my time there. Now, I work in Admissions at a fellow women’s college, and as I reflect on my roots within single sex education, I cannot believe that it all started from a single book I read when I, too, was a young girl…
