People are suffering every day with this government shutdown. Yet, the GOP refuses to do anything to help the 15 million Americans, including 30k members of our community, who stand to lose their health care. There are real consequences here. We must protect affordable health care in this country.

Have a column idea? Or a serialized on-going story idea? Pitch me!

I set up an automation to send all submissions to my Kindle so I can access them anywhere and not have to read everything on my computer. Hoping this helps me get through submissions a little quicker too. (P.S. .docx works much better than .pdf for this—if you want to make my life easier 😝)

I will make this the standard, so folks who pay for a quick response feel like they are still getting something of value when the story doesn’t work for us.

foofaraw press @foofarawpress.bsky.social · 2d

We had to send out our first rejection to someone who paid for an expedited response. It still feels a bit icky to have someone pay for a faster rejection, so I tried to provide additional details of why the story wasn’t a good fit and some suggestions for improving it. I will make this the standa
