Dear [hopeful]:
An entry has been prepared about you for inclusion in a forthcoming edition of Contemporary Authors (CA), a reference series that provides information on approximately 112,000 writers in a wide range of media, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, journalism, drama, and screenwriting. Established in 1962, CA is published by Thomson Gale, a leading provider in meeting the world’s information and education needs. There is absolutely no charge or obligation of any kind for listings in CA, nor is this e-mail a solicitation. For more information regarding the series, please visit www.gale.com.
As a courtesy, we forward to the author his/her sketch prior to publication. We invite you to take this opportunity to review the enclosed preliminary copy for accuracy. If any facts are incorrect, please let us know. Likewise, if any important information is missing, please alert us to that fact. (Please let us know immediately if the attached sketch cannot be read and we will resend it in text format.)
I am with Schlager Group, an independent contractor for the Gale Group, which publishes Contemporary Authors. We have overseen the writing and editing of your entry.
The sketches include a personal section, a career section, a list of works, and a sidelights section. The “Sidelights” section may include information on reviews of your work. At the end of this section, you can speak directly to our readers about such matters as your background, career, and life as a writer. For more information about this section, please see the bottom of this email.
The information you provide will be published online as well as in print, and will be considered part of the Contemporary Authors database and distribution channels. Any comments about the Contemporary Authors series provided by authors may be used in promoting Gale Group products and databases.
Please notify me of any necessary changes by emailing me at [email protected]. Even if no changes are necessary, please let me know that as well. If possible, please send your responses by January 26, 2006. You may also fax or phone the information to me at (214) 347-9469. Alternatively, Schlager Group's mailing address is: Schlager Group Inc., 2501 Oak Lawn Ave., Ste. 245, Dallas, TX 75219.
While we are unfortunately unable to provide a complimentary copy of the volume your entry appears in, we do provide a forty percent author discount should you wish to purchase one. To place an order, please email [email protected], call 1-800-877-GALE, or mail a written request to: Contemporary Authors, Gale Group, 27500 Drake Rd., Farmington Hills, MI 48331-3535, USA.
