AHS grad writes children's book told through postcards from travelling dog

AHS grad writes children's book told through postcards from travelling dog

A good reporter is hard to find and Sara Brown did a great job on this article. It's always nerve-wracking waiting to see what's going to end up in print after an interview. It's a really nice feeling when the result is a well-written piece, free of misquotes, that gets the actual point(s) across.

Again, thanks and kudos to Sara Brown and The Andover Townsman.

p.s. - even if you have moved away, if you grew up in a town for an extended time, that town's paper can still serve as a source for press. "Local girl done good" is always a feel-good story, so don't sell yourself short by skipping them when you send out press releases. And it doesn't hurt to have a determined Mom going to bat for you either, no matter what your age. :) Keep writing!
