Jynne Dilling Martin Goes South

I’m proud of my friend Jynne Dilling Martin who leaves this week to be the 2013 Artist in Residence in Antarctica. ANTARCTICA! Jynne and I worked together as publicists at Random House and she’s now doing great things as the Publicity Director of Riverhead Books. Besides being one of publishing’s best publicists, she’s a poet, a yoga teacher, a tree planter, a not-irritating cat lover, a champion vacation-taker, and, more than anything, a fearless and wonderful human being. I’m embarrassed to say I once suggested Paris as a good vacation spot to my globe-trotting friend. She went, she came back and said it was kind of boring but the bread was great.

You go, girl. Stay warm.
