Since the news came out at Beaglefest, I might as well announce it here as well: I’ve helped Judy Sladky with the writing of her memoire. A memoir about what, you ask? Well, for those of you who don’t know who Judy is… you know how you never see Clark Kent and Superman together? Well, much the same is true of Judy and Snoopy. If you see Snoopy skating at Snoopy’s Home Ice in Santa Rosa or on a TV special, if you see Snoopy giving hugs at Comic-Con, if you see Snoopy in the parade in a film like\u00a0Jingle All the Way<\/em>, Judy doesn’t seem to be around. (Some theorize that Judy simply doesn’t like Snoopy and avoids showing up where he is, but when I see her she is often wearing a Snoopy jacket, so that’s probably not the case.)<\/p>\n

Those of you who know Judy know that she’s a great and enthusiastic storyteller, and may be wondering why I’m aboard. I assure you I’m not a “ghostwriter”, nor is this an “as told to” book. Judy wrote quite readable and enjoyable material, and I just used my skills to fluff it out and smooth it over, making sure that everything is clear for the folks who don’t already know everything about Peanuts, and use my general skills as a text worker.<\/p>\n

It’s a good book, if I do say so myself. It’s got stories about NASA, NASCAR, and the New York Stock Exchange, with appearances by soldiers, celebrities, first families, and one boa constrictor. It has a lot of humor, a little danger, and a lot of touching moments. Drawing on Snoopy appearances from the 1970s through today, there is a lot of good tales to tell.<\/p>\n

Who is publishing it, and when is it coming out? We have to get an answer to that first question before the second. We’ve got an agent shopping it around now… but if anyone in the reading audience works for a sizable publishing house that might be interested, let me know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
