A note from Writers Remember Editor-in-Chief, Julia Temlyn:
Writers Remember was born out of something my mother once asked me, regarding
the similarities between myself and the heroine of one of my favorite books,
Little Women:
"Do you ever feel a bit like Jo March... writing what pleases others and pays the
bills?"

Just as Jo March, and her author-counterpart Louisa May Alcott, wrote what
