If you have a larger version, send it over to me when you have a chance, and I'll add it. :) And I'm very glad you were willing to take part as well Anne! :) The gravatar images are very tiny.

Grr, forgot to send my pic, I will get on that. I'm going to send my students and About.com readers to read the interviews. I think that this will be a valuable series for them. It will be interesting to see how each of the different writers responds to the same set of questions based on where they are in their career-- I like the wide range you have here. As a I read the bios I can see lots of different paths, areas of expertise, and a variance in the amount of years each writer has under their belt. I really think that range will make the series a good read for everyone. Interesting series, Jennifer. Grr, forgot to send my pic, I will get on that.

It would have been irresponsible to start a series with this many guests without fully introducing each of them, so readers continuing on can judge the credibility of the information provided. And looking back I wouldn't start it in any other way (nor would I consider those introductions to be something "outside" the scope of the series, and therefore its title).

I've long wondered if there is a better way to use my time and talent.

What you promised in your headline was not delivered in the post. Today is not actually the "first in our series," but rather an intro to the lineup of "experts," with no insight into pros/cons of querying. It *does* sound like it could be an interesting series, and I'll likely check back, albeit a little more cautiously next time... Feel as if I’ve just been “baited and switched,” unfortunately.
