An Author’s View of Publishing
Judith Clancy, author of Exploring Kyoto: On Foot in the Ancient Capital, spoke to SWET Kansai in June 1998 on her experiences in publishing this guidebook with Weatherhill and as a self-published writer of a book honoring her ikebana teacher. Upon setting foot in Kyoto when she came to Japan in 1970, Clancy promptly fell in love with the city and has remained a student of everything Kyoto offers. Her guidebook is still in print, and she updated this article in an interview in the SWET Newsletter, No. 109, September 2005.

Suddenly Dropped
What do we do when we are suddenly given the cold shoulder by a client or told that we aren’t needed after a long and mutually beneficial relationship? It can be infuriating or deeply traumatic.

Kindly Aunt Eva has mostly outlived her enemies, but as always, she plumbs the depths of her own experience to help us keep our balance.
