Subject: Jamie Bishop Award call for nominees
Dear Colleagues,
It will be a hard act to follow now that Rachel Heywood Ferreira has handed over the organization of the Jamie Bishop Award for non-English-language critical essays on the fantastic to me, but I count on your continued support and help in disseminating the call! Below please find the Call for Papers for the 10th annual Jamie Bishop Award. Please post in your publications and on your list-serves as appropriate and feel free to forward to any of your contacts to do the same.
Best regards,
Amy Ransom, Ph. D.
