[stylist] I'm new

Sun Aug 15 19:21:44 UTC 2010

HI Ashley, My name is shelley and I am the editor of "Slate and Style" the 
magazine of the national Federation of the Blind. Perhaps you would consider 
submitting some pieces to us on writing and your experience with it. We can 
chat off list if you like. I live in California with my two cats Pearl and 
brandy. I graduated fourteen years ago with a music degree and almost got my 
masters in history but decided the work I had to do for it was too boring. I 
now devote my energy to my latest hobby, trains, and also I work for Walt 
disney Travel. Good luck with writing. Write me off list when you can; maybe 
you have some good ideas on PR for our NFb chapter or my Pampered Chef 
business, or just ways to get names out there in the writing field. Have a 
super day.
