    Wow–it did take a while for the issue to be released. I think it’s great you are being published. Here’s hoping for many more. Mazel tov.

  2. red says:

    My acceptance letter was written on a manual typewriter, so that should give you some idea. :)

    I’m thrilled.

    And apparently there was an ad for this upcoming issue in the most recent Irish Literary Supplement (which is, like, GOD to me) – and there was my name. tee hee!!

  3. DBW says:

    Well, I am happy for you, and more than a little jealous.

  4. amelie / rae says:

    that’s incredible, but i can’t think of anyone more deserving than you, sheila. your writing is phenomenal.

  5. alli says:

    (Swelling with pride, dragging her around and pointing at her) “See Sheila?? She’s my FRIEND!!!!!!!!

  8. David says:

    Yeah, and I’m tagging along behind screaming, “She’s my friend TOO!!!”

  9. red says:

    David and beth – I think I need to see you two duke it out.

    :)

  10. Bryan says:

  12. Jayne says:

    Congratulations!!! I’m so thrilled for you!

  13. "dave" says:

    Congrats! Congrats!
    Just keep doing what you’re doing… see… the rest of the world will catch on!

  14. Kate says:

    Way to go, Sheila!!!!!

  15. Cullen says:

    Fantastic. Soooooo … acceptance letter written on a manual typewriter. I’m guessing there won’t be an online version.

  16. red says:

    No online version. I mean, this magazine barely has a workable website. hahaha But it’s really respectable – the oldest lit. journal in America. Published out of The Univ. of the South – so you should be able to find copies of it. Barnes & Noble sometimes carries The Sewanee Review.

  17. jackie says:

    Yay Sheila!!!!!!!!!!

  18. tracey says:

    Sheila — I look at that and can’t stop SMILING!! You go, babe. You deserve it!

  19. De says:

    Of course it’s happening! Girl, you’re going to be world famous and remembered forever!

  20. mere says:

    very cool!! congratulations!!!!

  21. Susan says:

    Sheila, As a graduate of Johns Hopkins I know personally what an honor it is for you to be chosen as an artist in this publication. This is a BIG deal for you and I wish you all the best! God love the Irish and God love you.
    Susan

  22. dad says:

    Dearest: delighted to add my voice to the congratulatory messages. I just want to note a word about Sewanee Review: Johns Hopkins has been engaged to distribute future issues, which leads me to hope that it will soon be included in JH’s Project Muse, which provides electronic distribution and access to the best of the literary and social science journals published today. There may well be electronic access to your essay. [Sewanee is already included online by the major full-text aggregator in most US libraries, although they impose a delay for the current issues]. I hope your essay will receive the wide distribution that it so well deserves. love, dad

  23. Chai-rista says:

    OMG!!! I’m SO happy for you!!!!

  24. red says:

    Dad – this is great news. I had heard of Project Muse – but I didn’t put it together in my head that that meant Sewanee Review would be involved. Very cool!!

  25. Kathy says:

    That’s awesome, Sheila! Congratulations!

  26. Nightfly says:

    Fantastic! Sorry to be late with kudos – busy busy lately – but this is great news and you’ve earned it in spades.

  27. Dan says:

    Congratulations!

  28. just1beth says:

    Instead of duking it out, I propose that David grabs one armpit, I grab the other, and we drag you around while bragging about you. Wadda ya think, David???

  29. HUZZAH HUZZAH HUZZAH!!

    Congratulations, Sheila!

  30. red says:

    Love Kerry

  33. red says:
