Among other reasons, we want to find what's on the agent's wishlists which certainly includes diversity. <br />Michelle 4 Laughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06876457259362839114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308214465210382791.post-1302539071635032372015-08-26T23:01:05.003-04:002015-08-26T23:01:05.003-04:00Mike is a POC, though it's certainly fine to h...Mike is a POC, though it's certainly fine to have two POCs.Lanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987748870291077638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308214465210382791.post-50337254661517465252015-08-26T19:15:25.659-04:002015-08-26T19:15:25.659-04:00Hey Michelle,

"There were also other factors, private factors, such as time commitment and availability."<br /><br />Not one of these issues were expressed to me in the email you sent or any other form of communication whatsoever. I had no idea of these issues, if they existed at all, and they were not used to communicate to me about why I could not be a host.<br /><br />Please take this as a learning opportunity, to learn, apologize, and grow.<br /><br />Best, and your friend, <br /><br />SCSC Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382410035007943921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308214465210382791.post-91892526617022758412015-08-26T19:07:38.340-04:002015-08-26T19:07:38.340-04:00It's truly unfortunate, and I'm sorry for ...It's truly unfortunate, and I'm sorry for the stress all of you must be going through. And I thank you for what you do to get other writers recognized. But I really hope your new cohost is a POC. Good writing has to come first, OBVIOUSLY, but different perspectives from our own must always be encouraged.

I completely understand and respect your decision. This could actually be a good thing. Now, querying writers will have more avenues to make their dreams a reality. I will continue to support you, Mike, SC and any author/writer whose interest is helping others to succeed. You are all very important to the community, and I’m truly sorry that this rift had to affect the three of you. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Jamie<br />Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073806889938027713noreply@blogger.com
