And now a chat with one of our latest Sustaining Members, Mark N.
Hi Mark. When did you start reading TMN? Maybe a year or two after it was established. I consistently visited the site on a regular basis, but for some reason stopped after I moved home in 2010. Late last year, I decided to check out the site and was happy to see that TMN was thriving, and I love the Tournament of Books. It’s a true joy to read the Morning News in my inbox each week.
Wow, that's really nice. What brought you to TMN in the first place? I worked in the communications office at Rosecrans's alma mater, Colby College, when they published a profile about TMN in the alumni magazine. I was responsible for updating the magazine’s website and after reading the article, I was intrigued to check out the site. I think this was a year or two after TMN was established.
Thanks, Mark! And major thanks to all of our supporters—you are the roosters in our hearts. If you haven't already, please consider becoming a Sustaining Member or making a one-time donation. 🐓
