Yes its still open. At the moment i’m still trying to rebuild my portfolio on Twitter and trying to cope with Tumblr fuckening (and it doesn’t help one bit that my commission post is flagged too and might be deleted after 17th) so it might take me some time to get to it.
By now I’m sure everyone following this blog knows that this year has been a struggle for me both financially and from a health standpoint. I’m never going to ask for pity, but I am going to say it would be tremendously helpful and it would mean a lot to me if this project is successful. I make work I care about and it really touches me knowing that you all care about it too. To that end, please signal boost, share with anyone who might be interested, and contribute if you are able.
I thought it might be not working, as my own email to him never got through. As for contacting him in any other way, it’s proved nigh on impossible. I have to therefore assume he’s retired to spend time with his cats 🙂
FYI, the most recent thing I found after an extensive google search is that he was part of a consulting committee about authors in schools in 2013-2014. So at least until recently, he was doing exactly as you remembered @thebibliosphere.
