Guidelines for Writers

After reviewing a couple of other bibliographies by Bedford St. Martin's, I found that most did not seem to have a set of rules. The length of the submissions varied, but I'm guessing the longest were not more than 1 1/2 pp. double spaced in regular Word format. Some had just a few sentences. Therefore, I suggest that we let the writers complete their annotations up to 1 1/2 pp., which is about 400 words, I think. The entries did not seem to be as much evaluative as they were informative--what the article discussed and the stance, if any, that the author(s) took. We can pare down the entries as needed. What do you think of this?

Suggested List for Tom Peele: For Discussion

Hey Kimme, I took three entries from your initial list and added them in here. All the remaining entries are from Tom's list. I have skimmed or read all the articles. You may want to do the same or just read through these titles. If you want to discuss any of these entries, you could email me your thoughts sometime this week. I'll be free on Tuesday and Thursday to talk by phone.

Note to Kimme: Please take a look at this essay by DePew et al. It does not address adult learners' experiences specifically; however, the entire distance learning concept affects adult learners and this articles does focus on writing instruction via distance education. For that reason, I lean toward including it in our book.

Dear Carrie,

We have now secured commitments from five individuals who will serve as consultants & writers for The Bedford Bibliography for Teachers of Adult Writers. These individuals' names and contact information are listed below.

We would like to know if a development editor has been assigned to our project and, if so, how we might contact the development editor that we will be working with.

A few weeks ago, you mentioned setting up a conference call to discuss timelines and other issues. We would be happy to participate in that proposed conference call.

We look forward to talking with you again.

Best wishes,

Kimme Nuckles and Barbara Gleason
