Thank you, Elana! Your careful reading of my texts has been very helpful – highlighting contradictions, challenging my arguments and helping me to focus on the main thesis. You have also made constructive suggestions on the structure of a chapter or article which has helped me to reshape a particular text. Given your own breadth of reading, you have often referred me to other authors for more information and/or a different perspective on an issue.  You have offered innumerable tips on how to market my work. You have a very good handle on managing this successfully and have generated a lot of interest. And you gave me the confidence to help me navigate some of my own challenges.
