Midlife Boulevard has picked up an article by humorist and Bannerman publisher Roz Warren. Thanks, Roz!

Roz Warren is "Booming" in New York Times

Roz Warren's first piece for the Times' blog "Booming" was published September 13 and it's terrific. "I'm Not Getting Any Better" tells of Roz's decision to say "enough already" with efforts at self-improvement as she nears 58. Check it out and leave a comment--there are 98 as of this morning. Roz may not be getting any better, but writing doesn't get any better than this.

One of my favorite humor writers (and publisher of Isabella's Pacifists in Bomber Jackets) writes a column for Open Salon. This one's about Jonathan Coulton, a singer-songwriter ("Code Monkey," "Shop Vac") she's seen in concert 31 times. It's very funny. Roz is also going to start writing twice a month for a new NY Times blog called "Booming." And Roz has her own site here. Check her out. Not only is she hilarious, she's a generous champion of other funny women.

Isabella Profiled in Women's Voices for Change

Great profile of Isy beautifully written by Roz Warren. Roz is a great patron of women cartoonists and artists, and a very funny writer herself. I catch her stuff in Funny Times. To read the piece, click here.
