Submissions are now being accepted for the Queer Issues area of the on-line
peer-refereed journal, The Writing Instructor. For the debut issue of this

learning, social and cultural histories, politics, and ideology.
Topics/practices may include but are not limited to the following:

should be approximately 4000 words in length. Shorter, note-length papers
may be acceptable. Please send completed papers, together with an
abstract and a brief biographical statement, to:

I am currently seeking contributors for a new volume in the Dictionary
of Literary Biography series. This volume will be the first one in the
series to focus on Nineteenth-Century British Dramatists.

The assignments vary in length from 5,000-12,000 words, but should all

section for examples of previous volumes in the series.

Authors of published entries receive a small honorarium and a copy of the
volume.
