I've definitely reslanted a lot of the essays to offer concrete solutions to problems. I realize this could conflict with my trying not to pass myself off as an expert, but these are solutions that have worked for me and maybe they could inspire others, as well. I've gotten interesting pointers on the WC to help out on that.<BR/><BR/>Hi, John. I'm sorry, I haven't read your book. I will look for it. Thank you for providing your own success story. :) I hope I can have the same luck with my book!Dawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291423272908722351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599152.post-31333241102698001332008-02-04T04:33:00.000-08:002008-02-04T04:33:00.000-08:00Have you read my book, Look Me in the Eye?

People read my story and draw inferences for their own lives, and it's widely held to be inspiring.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it will give yo some ideas for your own work.John Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07407165016025447113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599152.post-14646003376736150412008-01-31T10:03:00.000-08:002008-01-31T10:03:00.000-08:00Hi Dawn!

What I'd really hoped for, after reviewing and editing a lot of your work was that you'd either find someone who has considerable expertise in helping deaf parents to work on the book with you, or at least find professionals to endorse it once you're finished. <BR/><BR/>A while back when I was looking at your manuscript, I scouted around for books on deaf parenting issues, and didn't find much. That was a while ago, though, I haven't looked recently. But the market certainly seemed open, and you have a unique opportunity to meet a need. <BR/><BR/>I still think it would be really great if you wrote a book that acknowleged and discussed the particular challenges of deaf parents, but most specifically offers SOLUTIONS to said challenges. <BR/><BR/>I think that a book like that could help many people for a long time.<BR/><BR/>Don't give up,<BR/><BR/>Lisa<BR/>www.wordmountain.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
