Someone anon being snippy.<BR/><BR/>Let's see, what did I learn from this post? BookEnds is going to RWA. I'm not a romance writer, but to those who are this is definitely something to keep in mind.<BR/><BR/>Their intern wasn't some bubblegum popping temp who spent most of her day painting her fingernails. She was a highly qualified educated young woman who is now an assistant editor at a publisher. Hmmmm. Tells me the quality of intern they had.<BR/><BR/>Summer intern is now assistant and is also pursuing a degree with one year left. <BR/><BR/>So, the new assistant is already familiar with the workings of BookEnds and so there shouldn't be any down time while she is being acclimated.<BR/><BR/>Yay! More queries get processed.<BR/><BR/>It also tells me they do have interns and assistants and that's a plus in my books. Always nice when agents have qualified help so they aren't quite so snowed.<BR/><BR/>Sorry this wasn't your perfect blog, Anonimouse, but some people found it interesting. And, as far as comment count being the criteria for validity. Yeah, I know I always go by that.Julie Weathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725236516593676381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-19516799684906383472008-07-28T20:52:00.000-04:002008-07-28T20:52:00.000-04:00Routine Internal Office Workings (RIOW)?Zzzzzzzzzz...Routine Internal Office Workings (RIOW)?<BR/><BR/>Zzzzzzzzzzz...<BR/><BR/>Low comment count not surprising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-79717461917633747082008-07-28T19:44:00.000-04:002008-07-28T19:44:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-68508322720963747662008-07-28T18:20:00.000-04:002008-07-28T18:20:00.000-04:00Sometimes Karma does smile on those who deserve he...Sometimes Karma does smile on those who deserve her favor.

So much of the good stuff in life is based on timing and luck, but perseverance plays just as big a part. I love hearing stories where things work just right!<BR/><BR/>See you in San Francisco. And, for anyone in the Bay Area, remember that there will be a huge literacy book signing Wednesday, July 30 at the SF Marriott from 5:30-7:30.

Your intern already knew the ins and outs of your business and the change should be seamless.<BR/><BR/>At our newspaper, we post available jobs internally as well as putting them up in our papers and websites.
