THANK YOU MASTODON! I FOUND A VOLUNTEER PHOTOGRAPHER!
Do you live in Vienna? Would you be willing to take a photograph for a writer based in San Francisco?
My debut novel THE EXPERT OF SUBTLE REVISIONS features Egon Schiele's Seated Woman with Bent Knees on the cover. Much of the story is set in Vienna AND the Schiele painting will be traveling to Vienna to be part of the Leopold Museum's Changing Times: Egon Schiele’s Last Years, 1914-18 show, which runs from 28 March-13 July.

I would LOVE a photograph of my book in front of the painting in Vienna, but I don't think I'll be able to get there myself. Would anyone be willing to take this shot? The show doesn't start for another couple weeks, but I figured if I start to look now, I might be able to find a volunteer and figure out the best way to get the book there. Please respond if you're willing to do this, or boost for reach!
Thank you!

![Excerpt:
Of Fools and Rebels
Long before people texted by swiping on their phones or click-clacked their way through SMS-abbreviated sentences, we did things the old-fashioned way. From behind the music stand with our sheet music splayed, we surreptitiously texted and drew to our stand partner during orchestra rehearsals. To pass the time, we played simple games: Tic tac toe and hangman. When we were really bored, we'd make hand gestures and faces across the aisle.
But some of us took big risks. While the conductor trained their focus on an orchestra section, we'd just talk.
