The deadline for submissions for the Edith Wharton Essay Prize has been
extended to 30 October 2006.

The Edith Wharton Essay Prize is awarded annually for the best unpublished
essay on Edith Wharton by a beginning scholar. Graduate students,
independent scholars, and faculty members who have not held a tenure-track
or full-time appointment for more than four years are eligible to submit
their work.

The winning essay will be published in _The Edith Wharton Review_, a
peer-reviewed journal, and the writer will receive an award of $250.

All entries will be considered for publication in _The Edith Wharton Review_
as well as for the Edith Wharton Essay Prize. Submissions should be 15-25
pages in length and should follow 6th edition MLA style, using endnotes, not
footnotes.

Applicants should not identify themselves on the manuscript but should
provide a separate cover page that includes their names, academic status,
e-mail address, postal addresses, and the notation "The Edith Wharton Essay
Prize."

To submit an essay for the prize, send three copies by 30 October 2006 to
either of the editors of _The Edith Wharton Review_:
