We are soliciting contributions for an anthology which will address the ways in

CFP: Technical Communication & Culture
Submission deadline: November 15, 2005

Understanding why gas prices rise, filtering FEMA
messages, reading new genome maps, and following
sports blogs are just some of our encounters with
technical information in recent days. How much of that
information is communication? How does technology
modify the information?

Share your ideas and join us for the 27th meeting of
the Southwest/Texas Popular and American Culture
Associations Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

editor_at_sobriquetmagazine.com

The editors of Sobriquet Magazine are looking for reviewers of
contemporary literature and criticism. We will consider all reviews of novels, plays, poetry, criticism, and belles lettres released since the start of 2004, but are especially interested in the list following this message. Although we sometimes provide review copies, we normally ask that potential freelance reviewers either own, purchase, or borrow a copy of the book they wish to review.
