YOUR BOOKS - MY ENRICHMENT PROJECT

All,

While the realization of my project may take more than our lifetimes, it requires some primary attention while we are active and not being eaten by worms.

I hope to organize and help institute a Graduate library here at WCSU, based on the combined curriculum that we, our predecessors, our mentors and our alumnae have engaged in the several years of the program and the several more years to come.

The reason I chose this project need not be fleshed out here; I hope to present either at this summer or at next winter's residency.

In the main...what I am looking for is a bibliography, a list of all the printed material (even if you encountered the work on-line) you have used in your time in the MFA program and its 60 credits. If you have engaged something to help your complete your Masters of Fine Arts, I ask that you include it in such a list.

If you read Tolstoy - put it in your list, if you read the Harry Potter books put it on your list. If you can recall, inventory and/or locate the scholarly article tying together Tolstoy and Rowling...put it on your list.

From such a list, I hope to make an inventory of all the material and use this as a basis for developing a permanent collection, a Graduate library.

The first step to aid in this project is for each individual within the sight of these keystrokes to start preparing such a list.

No rush, no hurry as this project will definitely be a multi-year long-term effort that will be touched by many hands, but if you can prep somethign for the end of sumemr residency (early August) it will aid my compilation and possible inventory - so we can just get a bird's eye look at how many volumes will start thsi collection...500? 1000? 2000? 3000? I realize no one has the free time, but it is the kidn of activity that could take less than 3 hours to recall and transmit into a list. If you are able to go a step farther and create a true MLA bibliographic entry, the more you will have my thanks.

Also do not be shy about mentioning/listing annex or supplementary works that you think have value but weren't a discret part of your curriculae.

This message is intended for ALL members of our program: professors, mentors, graduates, current students, former students, writers-in-residence.

You may reply to me anytime between now and August residency at vinniekmetz@yahoo.com and please title your subject line: "Graduate Library"

Thank you for your attention.

cheers

DEADLY THREADS - Great review in Publishers Weekly

This is from today's PW:

“Near the start of Cleland's well-crafted sixth Josie Prescott Antiques mystery (after 2010's Silent Auction), Josie is preparing for a workshop on vintage shoes and handbags at her antiques shop in Rocky Point, N.H. When her guest speaker, Riley Jordan, fails to show, Josie decides to begin the class without her. A minute later, Josie discovers why Riley is late after looking under a display table, where she's horrified to see Riley's strangled body. Josie teams with Ellis Hunter, Rocky Point's police chief, and Wes Smith, an investigative reporter for the local newspaper, the Seacoast Star, to find the killer, who soon targets one of Josie's employees. Authentic details of vintage clothing and jewelry, vivid descriptions of coastal New Hampshire in the early spring, credible characters, and a dramatic conclusion make this cozy a winner. Author tour. (Apr.)” –Publishers Weekly

New Book Sold to St. Martin's Minotaur

The seventh entry in the Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery series has just sold to St. Martin's Minotaur (St. MM). This book, yet to be titled, will feature antique dolls and will be published in April 2012. During the negotiation, a second publisher, Severn House, expressed interest in acquiring the series. That, I must say, was fun.

More good news: The large print and United Kingdom rights of the sixth in the series, DEADLY THREADS (out in April 2011), have sold. (Large print to Thorndike and U.K. to BBC.) All books in the series are available in these editions, although some are with different publishers.


Finally, a point of interest: St.MM agreed to pay an ebook royalty of 25 percent. Further, St. MM agreed to "retrofit" all past contracts to include that new, much higher, royalty rate.

Thesis Proposal Reminder

A reminder that thesis proposals are due in the MFA office no later than Tuesday, February 15th. You may email your proposal and proposal form, send them by mail or bring them in. All Thesis Advisor signatures must be on a single form.

Opportunity to Meet with Elizabeth Alexander

I have one opening for an MFA student to meet with poet Elizabeth Alexander when she is on campus on Wednesday, 2/23. As with Tim O'Brien's visit, we're bringing together a group of students from across the disciplines who might be interested in Alexander's work. These students will have the opportunity to meet with Alexander before her evening presentation ("Understanding America Through African American Culture") and ask questions. She also will talk about her latest publication, Crave Radiance. The small group meeting will most likely take place in the late afternoon of the 23rd, and the evening event is at 7 p.m. in White Hall on the Midtown campus.

Let me know by noon on Thursday, 2/3, if you're interested; send an email to azevedoh@wcsu.edu.  First come, first served.
