[Englecturers] For Sci-Fi Geeks

[Matthew Snyder]

Hello Homo Sapiens:

I am writing this to let you know that a friend of mine is on the lookout for Sci-Fi media reviews for the Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA), so if any of you are looking for a line on your CV, or just want to get involved because you have sexual fantasies about Ewoks or Spock, please feel free to contact him at rcalvink at ic.sunysb.edu or check out the SFRA website for more detailed information: www.sfra.org.

I should also mention that there is a big Sci-Fi conference at UCR sponsored by the venerable Eaton Collection, which will have Ray Bradbury as the keynote speaker.  The website for this conference is: http://eatonconference.ucr.edu/ .

Cheers,

Hey Matt: I hope and trust all is well with you. It was definitely good
to see you 
(all) again.

I have a sort of request. The Science Fiction Research Association has
been 
going through some changes, and the SFRA Review has a new editorial
team. 
One of the changes is that they've added a Media Reviews section, and 
wouldn't you know, I've been named the editor of that section. So, I'm
in the 
process of trying to get people to write media reviews for the first
issue. The 
changes are recent, so I don't have a lot of lead time for this
particular issue.

I was hoping that you would either be able to write a review and/or
 pass
the 
word along to people you know who might also be interested. The
 complete
.pdf of the Media Review guidelines are on the SFRA website: 
http://www.sfra.org Then click on the SFRA Review button in the left
menu.

After your paper on Children of Men, I thought that of review of that
film 
would be a great addition to the inaugural edition of the media
 reviews.

Thanks so much!

Best, Ritch Calvin
