About Me
- Agent Kristin
- A nice Midwesterner breaks free of her genteel upbringing and says what's on her mind--politely of course--some habits are really hard to break. And one last thing, Pub Rants is shorthand for Publishing Rants. No Irish Pub involved--unless you want one to be!

Wow, thank you! I'm still in shock! The funny thing is that I got this email right after I came in from our front yard, where I was picking up dog poop and dressed in ratty pajamas....
