“Describe the YLCF” contest!

This afternoon Gretchen and I held the first YLCF conference via telephone with Lanier (over tea). The YLCF will complete its transformation sometime over the next few days (with the aid of much chocolate). Please forgive us if the website is temporarily down or links are broken; if something persists for more than 24 hours please let us know and we will fix it.

But we need your help! Can you describe the YLCF in 300 words or less? What is it, who reads it, and what makes it distinct from other websites? We need to define our identity and thought you readers would be the best ones to do so. Comment with your ideas and thank you!

Oh, and since this is a contest, there needs to be a prize, right? The entrant with the chosen description will receive the great honor of being interviewed for the YLCF (Natalie first suggested the prize to be a signed photo of Gretchen, but she insisted her idea of an interview is a better one).

Note: As we are revamping the YLCF Bookshelf we will be posting lots of blog entries of book reviews…some of these will appear below this post. Stay tuned for some of our favorite books.

Technical Note: If you are having trouble commenting on the blog, make sure your browser allows pop-up windows for ylcf.org. The comments box appears in a separate window. Alternately, you can view the comments for each post by clicking on the permalink (timestamp) at the bottom of each post.
