Marie Szamborski I'm trying to convert my teaching English as a foreign language career into a writing career so I can be location independent. I love writing so I'll be happy, but my husband would also like to become location independent (from same career) and is not into writing. Can anyone think of any L.I. career possibilities for him?

I wrote a brief query based on research about "how to write a good query letter" - that was easy. I summarized the book based on the info in that article and sent it off to a few publishers most of whom were interested. I got signed :)
