What is Yaddo?
Since I'm looking for a job in publishing, the first thing I do with a new book is to flip through to see if there's an acknowledgments page (and I hate when there isn't one) to see who the editor, agent, etc. is. I frequently see "Yaddo" listed, most recently in the book I'm currently reading, Lucky Girls, a short story collection by Nell Freudenberger.
Yaddo is an artist's retreat located in Saratoga Springs, NY that has hosted many notable writers and poets like David Sedaris, Mark Jarman, Erica Jong, Julia Alvarez, and Ann Patchett. Anyways, it sounds interesting and I want to read more about it.
