From the In Box: Magazine Me X
Just noticed yer mention of Lewis Lapham on Media Diet. Did I ever send you this humor piece I published on Mediabistro.com? If not, I've just sent it. -- Ken Gordon

Thanks for pointing me to that, Ken. It's a pretty funny take on query letters -- following advice offered by Lapham hisself in the book "Magazine Editors Talk to Writers." I hope you have better luck with that pitch than you did with the article you wrote about me on assignment from the Improper Bostonian. I guess I wasn't improper enough. Or Bostonian. Or whatever.
