TRIBAL WRITERS CHAPBOOK SERIES

PLEASE FORWARD TO NEW NATIVE WRITERS

TRIBAL WRITERS CHAPBOOK SERIES

The Sequoyah Research Center announces its second series of Tribal
Writers Chapbooks.  The first series published chapbooks (small,
limited editions of poetry, prose, or drama) by such noted Indian
writers as Maurice Kenny, Lance Henson, Glen McGuire, Ron Wellborn,
and Doris Seale.  We hope to continue to bring out writing of the same
high quality with this second series.  Stuart Hoahwah (Comanche) leads
off with a collection of poems, Black Knife, followed by Elgin
Jumper's (Florida Seminole) work Nightfall, Doyle Turner's (White
Earth Ojibwe) Time is a Parlor Trick and Other Poems, and
The.Indian.In.Indian.School by Linda Grover (Ojibwe).

The focus of the second series is on new Native writers, those who
have not published a significant body of work, either as individual
pieces or in book or anthology formats.  We are attempting to give
exposure to new (not necessarily young) writers.

The major dif
ference between the first and second series is that in
addition to publishing in hard-copy the new works will appear in
digital format in the Tribal Writers Digital Library.  We hope in this
way to reach a wider readership for what we think are some exciting
new Indian poets, storytellers, and dramatists.  You may view the
first volumes at http://anpa.ualr.edu in the Digital Library.

Payment to authors will be in the form of copies of their chapbook.
The SRC will print 250 copies that will be furnished to the author
upon completion of the press run.  No funds are required from the
author; no funds will be disbursed to the author.  Copyright will
remain with the author.

We envision that two chapbooks will be published each year under a
grant from the Bay and Paul Foundations.  An editorial board of
prominent Native writers review all submissions and make
recommendations to the editors.  The target date for chapbook
publication each year will be the annual Sequoyah Research Center
Symposium, held in the third week of October.  Submissions are
accepted at any time during the year.

Native writers should submit manuscripts that are no longer than 36
pages to fit the print format.  Further information should be
requested from or submissions sent to James W. Parins, Sequoyah
Research Center, Suite 500 University Plaza, University of Arkansas at
Little Rock, Little Rock, AR 72204, or e-mailed to <  a href="mailto:jwparins@ualr.edu" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer; ">jwparins@ualr.edu.
