<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I am inviting you to contribute
an essay on writer Harlan Ellison for a new volume of the Salem Press/EBSCO <i>Critical
Insights</i> series. The literary criticism series is designed to introduce
undergraduates to significant authors and works. Other authors in the series
include Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ernest Hemingway, and Gabriel García Márquez. The
series volume I am editing on Harlan Ellison will have five new articles, an
introduction, a chronology of the author's life, a general bibliography, and
about a dozen reprinted articles on Ellison. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></p>

Ellison and are interested in writing the following short comparison/contrast essay
of 5000 words for $ 250 or the biography essay of 2000 words for $ 100,
please email me as soon as possible with your mailing address (so Salem Press
can send you a contract), and your first and second preference for the two
articles by typing a number in front of the two articles listed below. If you are interested, I can sample chapters from a previous volume on Hemingway for the biography
and comparison/contrast essays. The finished article you will be doing has a
mid-August deadline. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></p>
