Chronogram
LOCAL GIRL MAKES GOOD: A regional arts and culture magazine that I like a lot, Chronogram, just ran a profile of me here.
Kudos to writer Nina Shengold and photographer Jen May -- it's never easy to read a profile of yourself (let alone look at a picture!) and feel it's accurate and insightful; they both did a terrific job, in my humble opinion. The magazine is very well-done; we're lucky here in upstate New York to have a lot of thriving independent publications; not sure how we got so lucky, but I hope it continues this way...
New Yorker profile
Hey, take a look: The New Yorker now has online profiles of most of its writers and links to most of the writers' pieces. Here's mine.

Lazy Little Loafers
Hey, great news from Germany today: "Lazy Little Loafers by Susan Orlean, illustrated by G. Brian Karas published by Abrams Books, is one of the 250 outstanding new international books for children and young adults that have been selected for The White Ravens 2009 from the thousands of books that our library received as review copies from publishers, authors, illustrators, and organisations from all over the world within the last year."
The White Ravens are an organization of the International Youth Library of Munich, Germany. Yay!
