THE ANTI 9-TO-5 GUIDE does the east coast

[Michelle Goodman]

Hello anti-nine-to-fivers (and aspirers),

 

I’m gearing up to do a few book readings in Washington, DC, Baltimore, and New York. Details follow. If you attend, be sure to say hello. Feel free to tell your friends, listservs, blog readers, too. 

 

Thanks so much!

Michelle
