I know of no one in the library world (or > in the larger academy, when it comes right down to it) who appreciates > and advocates for the romance genre more than you do, and I am sure > you have passed this passion on to your students, as well. So, I am > writing to ask 1) if you have any students you would recommend who > might be interested in being contributors, and/or 2) if you would be > interested being a contributor, yourself. The encyclopedia is aimed > at students and general readers, not romance specialists or scholars, > so the articles would need to take that into consideration. The > articles cover all (or as many topics as we could come up with) > aspects of the romance genre and range in length from 350 to 4000 > words. If you think you or any of your students might be interested, > I will send more specific information. I just don’t want to clutter > up your email with attachments unnecessarily. > > As is typical of projects of this type, there is little financial > reward, but I can offer a copy of the encyclopedia to contributors, as > well as author credit, which is always useful for one’s CV and might > appeal to students, in particular. > > In addition to contacting some of the library schools, I am reaching > out to scholars, librarians, authors, editors, and other academics and > professionals in the field, so if you have any people you would like > to recommend, please do! > > Seriously, I hope you are well, your dogs are affectionate, your > students are smart and rewarding, and that things are getting better > every day. > > Thanks so much for considering this. I'll certainly understand if you > don't even have time to deal with it, but you are one of the first > people I thought of when I started this project. > > Wishing you all the best, > > Kris > > -- > Kristin Ramsdell > California State University, East Bay > kristin.ramsdell(a)csueastbay.edu > kristin.ramsdell(a)gmail.com > Romance Fiction: A Guide to the Genre. 2nd ed.
