How cool that you're teaching your kids sign! I work in early intervention teaching babies sign language.

Hi Angela,

I love that you are signing with your little ones. Here is an article I wrote for Canyon News, an L.A. community paper (Sign, Baby, Sign!). The article is in two parts:

Thanks for Contract Advice

Dear Angela

This Ask the Expert response is valuable: http://www.writersweekly.com/ask_the_expert/003234_01252006.html

You might want to post it under some broad heading like Contracts so that we find it again.

It is very useful because of the alternate suggestion and warning.

Autograph Scam

Angela,

Thanks so much for the information on the autograph scam where people are asking writers and artists for autographed merchandise. I never would have thought of that as an identity theft tool and my husband and I are very diligent about our personal information. I'm now working up a signature to use just for future autographs.
