About TED

While all the author events, workshops and vendors are probably enough to convince anyone who enjoys the written word to come to the Tucson Festival of Books this weekend, I don't know if you're legally allowed to use the word "festival" if there isn't food. Thankfully, this particular festival will have an excellent selection of food from Tucson restaurants. While you can't go wrong with barbeque from Brushfire, a sandwich from Beyond Bread or the always classic Sonoran hot dog, I'd like to put in a brief endorsement for the Tucson Tamale Company. Tamales are just about the perfect food, as far as I'm concerned, and the Tucson Tamale Company makes excellent tamales, both traditional and more playful. The tamales are made with the best ingredients, they have vegetarian and vegan options and it also helps that the owner, Todd Martin, is among the nicest people on earth, giving every customer a warm welcome. Bring cash (the food vendors won't be accepting credit cards), grab a tamale, and come say hello to the staff of the Editorial Department this weekend.

Author Testimonials

I feel like its been very positive, especially when I read through my earliest drafts. Jen Howard and Catherine Knepper had to sift through a lot of muck and yet their reports were so positive and helpful. I look forward to working with Jen in the future. She has instilled the mentality in me that I can't just pick up a pen and wing it. There are no shortcuts to writing a novel. Basically, I feel like I've learned more than I can put into words. Thank you.
