Dear Kenneth,

I have worked on narratives in recent years and I have published
reviews of Bamberg  et al.'s book. I plan to work on one of these two
projects, one is about the function of voice-over narrative in movies
and the other is about Persian children strategies in picture
narration. Do you think any of these topic would fit your collection?

Best
