It's behind a paywall for me.
I get the gist of the good news, but if you're able to post it, I'd love to read about these books and their authors.
Thanks.

@Sedayne can you close the paywall? I could. There was an 'X' top right of the paywall box (on mine).

Worth a try, but no, there's no X to click. You can't access any NYT articles for free from here.

Hi @Sedayne - I've popped the article into a PDF so you could read it. Attached.

I think there's some interesting take-a-ways from this on how the various authors approached things. One being the first author, Virginia Evans, had a habit of writing letters to people she admired, and wrote one to Ann Patchett who then gave her book a glowing review. Anyway I found lots of interesting stuff in the article. Enjoy!
