1) "Women Editing Periodicals"
We are interested in papers that go beyond biography. "Periodicals" may be conceived broadly, including magazines, newspapers, women's editions, gift annuals, amateur press periodicals, children's magazines, etc. We also welcome papers about organizations of women in the profession.

This RSAP session will be complemented by a session sponsored by the Society for the Study of American Women Writers, coordinated by Sharon M. Harris of the University of Nebraska. The two sessions will be presented as "Women Editing Periodicals I & II."

We welcome inquiries. Send one-page proposals for this session to both of the following address or email listed below(email proposals preferred) by December 15, 1999.

2) Open Topic
We're looking for proposals on any topics appropriate to American periodicals.

Inquiries welcome. One-page proposals should be sent by December 15, 1999, to Ellen Gruber Garvey, President at address or email below.
