A SPECIAL ISSUE: THE BIOPIC
 
 
        The January 2000 issue of _Biography: An Interdisciplinary
Quarterly_ will explore the biopic.
 
        Guest editor Glenn Man is looking for papers which address the
theoretical, generic, historical, cultural, or technical aspects of
representing or telling lives in film or video--from Hollywood
spectaculars to indie films, from short subjects to A & E Biographies.
Interdisciplinary and multicultural approaches are particularly welcome.
 
        Manuscripts should be between 2,500 and 7,500 words, though
shorter and longer essays will be considered. Please submit two copies of
any manuscript. Since _Biography_ has a double-blind submission policy,
the author's name should not appear anywhere on either copy, but in the
cover letter. Decisions about publication will be received within three
months, and comments will be provided for all essays received.
Consultation on manuscript ideas is welcomed. For more information,
contact the general editor, Craig Howes, by email at [log in to unmask]

Center for Biographical Research, University of Hawai'i, Honolulu, Hawai'i
96822.
 
DEADLINE for submissions: August 1, 1999.
