Thanks to everyone for spreading the word

The strength of any effort is bouyed by its support, and the MDP staff is forever grateful for all the terrific people who believe in the effort and are helping to publicize the idea and encourage writers to take part.

• Brianne Sanchez of The Des Moines Register created a great feature: A New Approach to Old Fiction for both the Register and Juice. Look for Brianne at some of the MDP events at the Des Moines Social Club, too!
• If you want to know about any writing opportunities, bookmark Roxie Hanna's blog and check back often. She was kind to post this: New Writing Opportunity: The Modern Dickens Project
• Our illustrious editorial advisor, Kali VanBaale, has written a great blog about the MDP (not because she had to, but because she wanted to. :D) Make sure to bookmark her blog, too, as she writes some pretty funny stuff: The Modern Dickens Project
• AccessLine Iowa picked up the Register story.
• Thanks also to Intrepid Media for adding a blurb to its news page.

We understand that a feature from Radio Iowa is forthcoming, as well as a little love from mystery author Mike Manno on his blog.

Again, thanks to everyone for sounding the horn, sharing on Facebook, and RTing on Twitter.
