Hi Katherine,
I would e-mail the submitter at the bottom of the text. It is John Young, Dept. of English, Marshall University, at youngj@marshall.edu
for more information. A lot of these Call for Papers are exploring some theory or theme or other. Some are for actually CFS, Call for Submission to submit to anthologies or collections or writing entries for encylopedias. Since Octavia Butler died two weeks ago, there have been a several CFP on her work. I belong to a list serv that sends me dozens of these a week. Most of them are way over my head. LOL. Occasionally, there is something I can decipher and actually understand what it is they want. I have gotten a couple of writing assignments writing for encyclopedias, two for Greenwood Press. I wrote two entries for the Encylopedia of Slave Resistance which should be released later this year, maybe early 2007.
