I’m sure you have received many comments since your profile in SCBWI. 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.
Sincerely,
Lisa Stevenson

I think women read much more fiction than men. I Loved this article. I would like to visit again.

When I use public transportation many men are reading newspapers or books: fiction and non-fiction. The fiction tends to be thrillers, sci-fi, and literary. The book reading numbers differ between genders on any given day, although the important thing is that they read.

He also tends to read more fiction than I do. Almost all of the women I know read far more than their husbands, though, and the fiction section of our town library always has plenty of women browsers, while men go for the non-fiction. I love seeing men in the fiction section and women checking out soldiers’ memoirs; it makes me feel as though we aren’t all so predictable.

He reads non-fiction, which puts me to sleep. He’ll pick up an occasional work of fiction…maybe once or twice a year.

We both spend about equal times online reading the news, blogs, etc. And when we got a regular newspaper I read it and my husband rarely picked it up.

There’s some more for your pile of statistics

I’m a college student, and I focus a lot of my studies on the great gender divide, so the statistics in this blog were priceless.

I know I read a whole lot more than the men around me. And, as someone who has the entire Janet Evanovich series stacked up on her bookshelf, I can testify that our reading preferences are different as well. A good friend of mine only reads medical non-fiction. I’ve never seen him even touch another book, much less fiction.

Then again, I love historical non-fiction. Go figure.

Makes me think of Claire Cook, who wrote her first novel, Must Love Dogs, waiting for her daughter to finish swim practice. Maybe the great gender/book divide comes from society’s roles for men and women? Just a thought.

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.

Another possibility: Novels are about people and relationships, which is more interesting to larger numbers of women.

The combination of the number of chick-lit books on the NY Times list, the Sex and the City Movie, and all the agents/editors that say chick-lit is dead and don’t submit it. Granted, the authors and the movie are all well established among women, but might we not want to see some fresh voices?

I will always have my eyes open for fun, light women’s fiction, I never tire of watching characters shop for shoes… Just a few thoughts on things that have been popular this year!
