I'll do that, but I might have better chances to get an editor's attention. Can you also try to find updated contact info for The Nation? The addresses you gave me both bounced, looks like.

OK, yes, but don't you think you should first ask your P.R. person at Sterling & Ross if they've already started doing that/ made those contacts? Or at least ask that Rachel or whomever? They may already have sent out something to them?

Can you find me a few more book editors to whom to submit excerpts? Talking to Gawker about it now, want to find others.
