<p>RiceOwlHopeful – it’s obvious that you give a hoot! Thanks for the helpful feedback – maybe you can slip something about the Cronin book into your interview/ essays. </p>
<p>Other Rice authors … faculty and alum, OK?
Douglas Brinkley (famous Rice history prof who’s quoted all the time)
Candace Bushnell (alum)
Larry McMurtry (alum)
Ben Rhodes (alum – Obama speechwriter)
lots of faculty members get published …
There are Owls at Texas Monthly, too.</p>
