Hi All,
I have an interview with CAVA this week - that stands for California Virtual Academy. If you get selected, you're placed in an eligibility pool until there's an opening.
Has anyone gone through this process? How long did you wait in the pool before an opening?
Please share any other experiences you've had with CAVA too.
TIA!
I just got hired on as a long-term sub for CalOps. Does anyone get work with them? I'm wondering how likely it'll be that I'll get a gig or just be waiting in the wings. I definitely want to line up other work, but it's been slim pickings out there and very few call backs.
TIA!
Okay, I love my 26 Santa Fe Calligraphy - but am I the only one that feels like the seat belts are a bit cheap? The retractor and buckle seem made of lightweight plastic. I've driven a lot of cars and this is definitely the first time I've been nervous about a seat belt. Has anyone gotten in a crash and had these thing hold up? I feel like they would snap at the impact.
Hi Everyone,
I'd love some advice on school programs/pathways that you recommend for moving from teaching into counseling. I know I need a PPS. I already have an MS in education (and tons of secondary teaching experience), so I'm not sure if I also need an MS in counseling or just the credential? I see some programs that offer both.
For those of you that have transitioned from teaching into counseling, do you feel it was the right decision? I'm nervous about spending more time/money on schooling.
TIA!
Hi All,
I'm hosting a celebration of life for my brother in Austin, but I don't live there. Please share recs for mid-range restaurants that have banquet/party rooms and good food. He loved tacos, BBQ, a great steak etc. We're open to the type of food, but need a private space where we can play his music and put up pictures etc. TIA!
Edit: Thank you to everyone that has already commented. I've looked up every single recommendation and have emails out to a number of places. Such incredible suggestions. Thank you for making this a little easier. I appreciate it!
Hi All,
So, I'm currently agented and on sub for upper middle grade. I finished the book awhile ago and while I was waiting to go on sub with it, I wrote another book - except it's not middle grade. I needed to write something different, and ended up with a psychological thriller. I'm trying to figure out how to tell my agent that I have written a book in a completely different genre than what they represent, and float the idea of an agent split. I would take the thriller out with a pen name to separate it from any MG work (although, frankly, that market is tough and it's not looking good).
For those of you that have gone the agent split route, how did you present it? My agent is a bit prickly and likes to do things her way, so I'm nervous that presenting this idea will result in her dropping me mid-sub. I'm also not open to waiting out the other book before exploring this option, because I'm not getting any younger, and finding a thriller agent could take a long time. Please share any experiences you've had with this kind of situation.
