Best wishes and good luck!
Check my page here - I am collecting information from writers and EDITORS for my new website. I hope to eventually give an avenue where editors and writers can better understand each other. Also a vehicle for editors to reach each other as persons more than as editors. I'm excited to be able to offer this. Perhaps you'd be willing to be interviewed for a "round-up" type piece I do or create a short (250-500 words) piece about something current in the industry.
Let me know - and good luck with your work and dreams.
Sincerely,
Judi
