I, a published writer, have always wished for an agent, but do not agree with SCBWI. I have found many agents to be hard and discouraging. What I have published, I had done myself, which isn't easy for a disabled mother with two disabled children herself. I wish for once I could pick up a SCBWI magazine and truly believe there are agents interested, after all, the agents wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for the writers. So I feel the writers are truly mistreated. I am currently waiting for Regional Center to help me, if I qualify, to help because the writing is not the difficult part for a disabled person like myself. It is the traveling, expenses, and so forth. My son, who is also disabled, is an illustrator, who has been profiled on television and has a book coming out in January with other talented autistic illustators. My work has been admired by teachers, who even use it in the classroom. I don't make a living at it, for as I said, finding an agent for someone like myself is difficult. I have never seen the magazine focus on someone who has the difficult problems I do. Perhaps they do not know that a person with a disability can also create.<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Lisa StevensonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-65266614443846648492008-11-05T08:20:00.000-05:002008-11-05T08:20:00.000-05:00Hi,I think women read much more fiction than men. ...Hi,<BR/>I think women read much more fiction than men.

And I find it true in regards to men reading more non-fiction than fiction (although my brother would argue that he reads more fiction - but then again, he writes fiction like me).<BR/>My partner reads a lot of non-fiction, loves the idea of reading fiction, but as he's so busy he rarely finishes a book within a reasonable timeframe. <BR/>I don't know what it is in our genetic makeup, but there definitely is a differene between men and women when it comes to reading books. <BR/>It could also come down to conditioning. When I was at school (I'm nearly 40), the girls always had their heads in Nancy Drew, Judy Blume and Trixi Belden books. Boys were out playing football, etc. I don't remember boys being encouraged to pick up books. I hope things have changed since.<BR/>Great topic, thanks!Alli Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363202163419352155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-25889649013787211912008-08-07T02:25:00.000-04:002008-08-07T02:25:00.000-04:00In my house it's about even, my boys read waaaayy ...In my house it's about even, my boys read waaaayy more than my daughter.

I'm...I think women read much more fiction than men. I'm a guy and my pals mostly read news magazines, business journals, newspapers, etc. If they read books it tends to be nonfiction with a bias toward history or biographies. Since I'm a fiction writer I tend to concentrate reading in my genre but I also enjoy a wide swath of other genres as well. Eclectic would be a good description of my reading tastes. But truly, I'm the exception when it comes to men's reading habits. Who reads more? If you include reading off your computer, then I'm saying it's a toss-up. But books...I'd be inclined to say women edge out men. Next time you're in a book store take a look around. My guess is there will be more women than men browsing...and that includes after-work hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-60818838931123753022008-08-06T08:23:00.000-04:002008-08-06T08:23:00.000-04:00I'm not surprised by any of the poll results you c...I'm not surprised by any of the poll results you cite. I'm an avid reader, having grown up the daughter of two avid readers who opened their own bookstore when I was still young. My mother, sisters, and I read just about anything in the fiction genre and will skim non-fiction occasionally as well. My father and brothers read primarily non-fiction with only the rare (very rare) novel thrown in. My husband has followed that gender divide and will only read fiction when it has historical aspects--and when I shove it to him on Christmas morning. <BR/><BR/>My theory of the morning is that women are more likely to multi-task and thus gravitate toward novels because they can do other things while reading--unlike with non-fiction where you have to focus solely on that book for whatever period of time it takes you to read it. It's hard to read a history of the Middle East (and get anything out of it), for example, when you're constantly being interrupted by the kids. Or maybe women just feel the need to escape more often than men do, and it's most safely done in the pages of a novel.Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846665855246867179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-72536127662284135632008-08-05T23:09:00.000-04:002008-08-05T23:09:00.000-04:00I read a lot across many types, but fantasy/sci-fi...I read a lot across many types, but fantasy/sci-fi would probably be foremost.<BR/><BR/>My wife is an avid reader as well and reads mostly mystery.<BR/><BR/>Once difference I do find between the sexes is that our women friends are always recommending books and asked about recent reads - the guys I know just don't share the same way - unless it's really unusual.

However, I bet he only reads ten to twelve books a year and most of them are when he has to fly somewhere. He doesn't seem to care if it's fiction or nonfiction, but he likes a good story so his nonfiction tends to be something like THREE CUPS OF TEA vs. some current event nonfiction. He's pretty big on haiku too. He is a professional musician and he does love to read, but he loves to play guitar more, so when it's time to choose, I settle in front of the fire and read while he plays, so I think I read about ten times as much as he does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-59007780097347789922008-08-05T15:11:00.000-04:002008-08-05T15:11:00.000-04:00Well, I read a lot more than my husband does.
