I taught college students how to program and I've done some volunteer teaching through church. Never done any formal English teaching.

What do teachers do if they don't get rehired the next year after a layoff? Is this sort of thing common?

well, i suppose i'm very well versed in american literature. i read all the classics like hemingway, melville, hawthorne, whitman, twain, dickenson, fitzgerald in high school. but these days i mainly read foreign stuff for my free reading, especially when it comes to contemporary literature. i've been reading translations (norwegian and japanese mostly) instead.

this is not to say i've completely abandoned us lit. mccarthy, o'connor, bender, and diaz are all among my faves, but most of the american books being published these days feel either hollow or pandering.

Anyone else here starting the process of submitting a novel to agents?

Any positive feedback?
