Live Blogging From Writers & Editors: One-on-One: Sunday’s Wrapup
Over last weekend, Chicago freelancer Anne Ford blogged from the 12th Chicago Writers & Editors / One-on-One conference (which is co-chaired by MBToolBox guest-blogger Annie Logue.) Here’s her final installment:
We were a glassy-eyed bunch at the conference wrap-up
this morning. I made it through my last two editor
meetings and then headed to Gino’s East for deep-dish

up before you get there, slap your name on that
waiting list-I wasn’t the only one who got in that
way.
