    Calling all Diana Wynne Jones scholars! A British publisher has
    expressed interest in a possible collection of essays about Jones. I
    need contributors who can send me a title and abstract for a proposed
    article as soon as possible. You wouldn't actually have to write the
    article yet. If the book proposal is accepted, someone will come after
    you with a big stick. The editors are open to any and all ideas about
    Jones's work, including her science fiction for adults, her place in the
    world of literature, her vast superiority over J. K. Rowling, etc. (We
    sold the publisher on the collection based on the current popularity of
    fantasy literature due to Harry Potter.) We would love to have
    contributors from Britain and the Commonwealth countries and from people
    of the male persuasion since most of our confirmed contributors are
    American females.
        If you are interested, please e-mail any questions or abstracts to
    Donna R. White at the following address: milliew@mail.cswnet.com. And
    please forward this message to any person or list-serv that might be
    interested. I have only posted to child_lit.
