Harmony Ink/Dreamspinner Press promote Day of Silence

[WillParkinson]

Harmony Ink and Dreamspinner Press will be promoting the Day of Silence this April 19th by having authors revisit their worlds and working the Day of Silence into a story. This will be the first time that characters from my upcoming book, 'Pitch', will be seen in public!

They will also be donating 20% of their sales that day to GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network)

So mark your calendars folks! Help make this event a success so that children's voices will no longer have to be silent.

1. Good luck w. the book and w. Day of Silence.

D of S is a great idea but I'm having my doubts about GLSEN. Seems like it's turning into a remote unresponsive, self-perpetuating corporate entity. An internet presence, but perhaps nothing more.

After No Name Calling Week , GLSEN's other BIG annual project , in response to a... I guess ( *now*) ... computer-generated, rhetorical question from one Meg Ten Eyck ( "Do you have any unanswered questions?" ) I sent her a question about problems implementing NNCW in real life HSs. ( I had been a PS teacher and had dealt w issues related to NNCW).

I wrote ( or forwarded her) five times: No answer, no answer , no answer, no answer and ... finally...no answer.

So... WP... if you are ina poistion to do so: see if you can determine if Meg Ten Eyck actually exists and if she will reply to my email.
