Jerry Spinelli -- SCBWI MidWinter Conference, NYC, Feb 2005

He cracks us up with his tale of desperation, trying to get a famous author
(George Plimpton) to read his manuscript. Jerry's wife Eileen won the
Night on the Town with George, for Jerry, in a PBS auction, with their last dollar.

Boy, can I relate
to that desperation
(and the last dollar, too).

Jerry holds up his giant
stack of rejection letters,
and the audience gasps,
then applauds.
This is only PART of them.
