New Mexico Magazine will be publishing my profile on Jennifer James in the June issue in the Creative Fires (I think that's the name) section.

I'm thrilled, but what I want to share is the value of social networking media. Because I write about Albuquerque and New Mexico for my examiner column, the editor of NM Magazine has been following my tweets (I tweet as OffbeatTravel).

When I sent in my query, she recognized my (real) name and moved the proposal to the top of the "read and consider" heap.

Thank you Kelly for reminding me of the importance of using these tools. They do work!

And so we also have Writer Gals helping one another.
