Just got an email from People mag saying my letter will be in the Mailbag in the 7/7 edition!
Edit: in my haste to post, I forgot to mention, it's my letter thanking them for the fantastic article on David (and I might have appropriately mentioned the pix). I asked them to keep up the great coverage of David!
Did anyone else get an email confirm saying their email was going to be published? I would love to see an all-David mailbag!!!
Full Version: People is publishing my letter about David!
that's awesome blake!!!! i'll keep an eye out for that when my mag. comes in the mail. 
oh, and i LOVE your siggie, by the way!

Cool BLake!
I'll look for it as well.
kool,congrats and I hope they take your advice!
Here's the letter I wrote -- they said all or a portion of my letter would be published.
Oh! And you'll see it credit to my professional name, Jecelyn.
Thanks, Amy2964. Almost time for a new one! lol.
To the editors of People,
Thank you for the outstanding David Cook coverage in the Jun 16 issue! From the stunning photos to the fantastic interview, you captured perfectly the David we all appreciate and support! You shared with the world the articulate, empathetic, gracious, witty, grounded artist that his fans have believed in since we first heard him sing! He carried himself with class and grace throughout the competition and into his reign as champion, inspiring his fans in ways that he may never hear about or understand. No one deserves the often over-used title of “Idol” more than David. Please keep the great David Cook coverage coming!
P.S. We’d like to suggest that perhaps you'd like to (please) consider David for your Sexiest Man Alive title!
Oh! And you'll see it credit to my professional name, Jecelyn.

That is awesome, congrats!
kudos for the honor! Your letter covers beautifully a lot of the rest of us would have wanted to say. Looking forward to reading it in print.
I think you covered it all perfectly in your letter, BLake! Congrats on having it selected to print.
You rock, Jecelyn. You seriously rock. It's a great feeling, isn't it?
Congrats! What a well written letter! Who knows, maybe David will read it.
What a very nice articulate letter! You go girl! You just represented in that letter what is so awesome about this fanbase. I think DC would be very proud of you!
Congrats. I will make sure to get the people magazine asap.
Your letter is certainly well written and you definately convey our feelings effectively.

KUDOS on a great letter!!!
Thanks, everyone. I'm sure other letters that we sent in have to be included! That would be so great! Can't wait to see how much of the Mailbag is DC-related.
I am honored to be in your company, as always, TC.

I couldn't have said it better! Great job, can't wait to get the mag. I hope they listen to the Sexiest man Alive thing too. They sure would sell a lot of mags if he won!
That is an awesome letter! Incredible description of everything David. Brilliant!

lol. "When I grow up, I wanna be jus' like T.C.!"
C'mon, T.C., you know we'd be completely lost without you! Who else would keep us updated on David's many media adventures?! BTW, consider this my special request to please include a scan of my letter (PLEASE?!). I know you'll get it before I ever do.

A forewarning on that: To be "jus' like T.C.", you technically never grow up.
Well, I do what I can.
But of course! I should be getting it tomorrow or Friday, so I'll rush to the scanner when I get it (after the prerequisite ten minutes of drooling, of course).
that's cool!
great letter btw
can't wait to see it on the mag
congrats!

Congrats!!! We should all send letters and overflow their in boxes with letters about David. Then they would realize how much coverage they really need on him.
Great letter by the way!

Thanks, Carpe Diem. So many D-C.org-ers submitted letters! It is my hope that they will soon be receiving confirmations that their letters were also selected. Trust me, they got a lot of 'hints' about keeping up the DC coverage!
Put him on the cover, People Magazine. We dare ya! And see what we do to the sales records then!

Now, for the "Sexiest Man Alive" title....WHERE DO I VOTE???? 
Congratulations, BLake!
Your letter is very well-written and really captures what we love about David and why we're grateful to People for their coverage. I'm not surprised it was chosen.

Congrats Blake that letter was very well written. No wonder they picked it. I am looking forward to the issue for more than the main course now. You are like dessert.
Absolutely fantastic! When the magazine comes out, could somebody please let me know if they mention including him for Sexiest Man, please?!
Great letter, your description of DC was absolutely perfect. Congrats!

But of course! I should be getting it tomorrow or Friday, so I'll rush to the scanner when I get it (after the prerequisite ten minutes of drooling, of course).Hey, T.C. (and everyone), if it's going to be in the Jul 7 edition, will that come out . . . the week of Glendale or maybe the Thursday/Friday before Glendale (a week from today)? Trying to figure out how far in advance their issues hit the stands/mailboxes.
Thanks, everyone, for the kind words. You all are so sweet!! When I wrote that at 1 or 1:30 am one late night, I told shannabelle that I really felt like I missed the mark with my wordy description. Maybe sleepy writing is actually a good thing?
Looking forward to hearing that other members also received word that their show of support will be published. I dare them to put David on the cover and see what we do to those sales records!
Congrats! You're letter is beautiful!
And everything you say is true! Nobody could have said it better! (at least I don't think so!)

BLake,,, I am speechless...
AWESOME!!!
You took the words right out of my mouth. Dead on!
I need to send some letters. Haven't done that, spending too much time here spilling my guts to my support group.
Whatever magazine puts DC on the cover, is going to make alot of $$$$$$$$$$.
DC is an inspiration to all of us and soon I am sure that those who are clueless about DC will know why...
Thank you.
