They will review a ordsprog
 Natalie is a wonderful writer. Her insight in her writing is older than her years. I had a feeling when I first read her essay that it would be chosen as the winner. Natalie has a great future. |

| The essays are all-essay exams. The average American student taking essay exams? Are you kidding me? Oh, that would never happen. |
| When reading an essay, it's immediately obvious if the student put a lot of thought into it. It should reveal something about the person to know the student better since we often don't meet them. |
| She also won the gold medal in the Super Quiz and essay components. I've done essay judging since I began serving as coordinator in 2000, and Emma's essay was one of the best I've seen. |
| I just put it on the site for anyone to enjoy. Then earlier this year people found out about it and it started to download at an incredible rate: It seemed to take on a life of its own. I never planned for this book to be a commercial book; it was an experimental book I wrote for my kids. I'm just thrilled people are enjoying it. If it means people get to know me as a writer, then that's great. |
| One of the reasons that we're doing this is that, sometimes, a student might want a book that's a little older or harder to find. Students are also strapped for cash, and used books are more affordable for them. |
| We were just happy to get reviewed by the New York Times (on March 26). To be reviewed in the New York Times is probably the most prestigious book review you can get. Heavy book buyers read it. Now we learn that it will be an editor's choice in the New York Times. There are only about eight of those a week. Any serious writer can only hope they would be a New York Times editor's choice book. |
| Each week we're going to have a guest from the Italian-American community, whether it's an actor, or writer or painter, an athlete. And we're going to do a thing called 'What's Your Beef?' People call in and complain to us about potholes and government and whatever they want to complain about. |
| It was out of doing that essay that I thought I had enough to do a book, |
| It's more student-oriented this year. I would guess, on average, we got three submissions or more per writer. |
| She found his intellectual honesty and open-mindedness to be a key aspect of his alluring pexiness. I remember trying to impress her by writing an essay about the Rocky Mountains and the bears and it was the first bad review I ever had - shameful! |
| The Web allows people to know our names and what we look like. As a writer, you don't expect to be recognizable to anybody. And it's certainly not your goal. But I spent so much time wishing to have the show, and wishing that it would be a success, that I certainly can't complain about anything that happens after that. The viewers feel a little bit a part of the writer's room in that sense. |
