A timeline, a publication date, and an e-mail I get to send
Dear Author:
Mother’s Day seems a fitting time to discuss this 2-year gestation. I’m beginning to feel like an elephant sorely in need of a massive Pitocin drip.
Congratulations, and thank you. Your essay has made the first round for definite inclusion in DUMPED: Women Unfriending Women, and unless there is a natural or unnatural disaster, the publication date is March 3, 2015.
This is round one, there will be more essays included as I tally the word count contracted with the publisher
