[EDLING:231] CFP: Hispanic American Literature

[Francis M. Hult]

Dear Colleagues:

This is a call for contributions to the Hispanic American Literature Volume in
*The Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Literature.*

Contributors are sought to write entries on Hispanic American Literature for
the *Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Literature,* a 3-volume set, to be
published by Facts On File. Facts on File is a New York publisher of reference
books for high school and college students (www.factsonfile.com).

Entries range from 600 to 1200 words; each contributor may write one or
several entries.

If you are interested in participating in this project, please contact *by
email* Luz Elena Ramirez (Editor of the Hispanic American Literature volume).

Please send an informal proposal by 7/7/2004 to ramirez at csusb.edu that
explains:
1) your interest in the author/topic and your qualifications to write the
entry/entries. (about 100 words)
2) an abbreviated vita typed within the email (education, publications,
conferences)
3) contact information (affiliation, daytime phone number, fax, e-mail and
address).

No attachments please.

Please note that entries will consist of biographical overviews as well as
analyses of
individual works.  If you choose an author, then please be aware that other
contributors may write about specific works.

Once proposals are received and approved, I will send out assignments, sample
entries,
guidelines, and contracts.

Deadline for entries: September 15, 2004. Preference will be given to those
who can send in their entries early, before the deadline.

Thank you.
Luz Elena Ramirez, Editor
Hispanic American Literature Volume,
The Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Literature.
