Biographical Entries Sought: Black Diaspora Drama

Alexander Street Press seeks short biographical entries for inclusion in its
BLACK DRAMA database.

Alexander Street Press—an electronic publishing firm noted for its Civil War
Letters and Diaries and for North American Women’s Letters and Diaries—is
publishing a full-text searchable database titled BLACK DRAMA. Integrating
rare, hard-to-find plays and popular, widely-produced plays by Blacks and
about Blacks, BLACK DRAMA encompasses the work of playwrights from the U.K.,
the Caribbean, the U.S. and Canada, and Anglophone Africa.

I am currently seeking contributors for the second
volume of Twentieth Century European Cultural
Theorists, to be published by the Dictionary of
Literary Biography.

The assignments vary in length, but all should blend
biographical information with a critical assessment of
lives and works. If you are unfamiliar with DLB format
or expectations, please peruse volume one. Published
entries receive a small honorarium and a copy of the
volume.
 
Those interested should email me 3 preferences, with a
brief cv.
