We are looking for authors to write supplemental material for this website.

We would like summaries and analyses for the books listed on this site. Especially the more popular books like 1984, Animal Farm, or Wuthering Heights.

To get a free CD or the equivalent you would need to provide a chapter by chapter summary of a book, that is a half a page to a page in summary for each chapter. Additionally you would need to provide a character overview where you would list the main characters in the novel and what their role is (Dramatis Personae if it were a play).

We are also looking for 1-2 page introductions to the various major literary styles or periods. (find a list here: http://directory.google.com/Top/Arts/Literature/Periods_and_Movements/) These introductions would need to be text book quality and applicable to the authors listed on this site. The idea is to provide a more general literature resource for students.

Excellent. Could you provide a more complete list of the periods and movements? I noticed that quite a few are missing. Also, are you thinking an overall period, or did you want specific periods from, say, English Literature?

Also, were you just interested in books and periods? Or would you like a synopsis/analysis of poetry, short stories, or plays?

Lastly, these prizes that you speak of, could you tell us what they are, exactly?

For now, I think I'll get started on Ivanhoe.

Everything is negotiable, but for a standard summary you can get a free CD, a $20 gift certificate from wherever, or a check if you like.

For the periods and movements there are more, but making a complete list would likely be difficult. I'd rather just have people make sure to okay topics before hand.

The ones I am most interested in right now would be:

Existentialism
Trancendentalism
Romanticism
Victorian

The important thing is to make them useful and to include mention of authors on this site.

I'm not looking for analysis of poems or short stories at this time.

20 bucks for all of Ivanhoe? Well, I'm a starving student, so I may just take you up on that. Would that be in American funds? If so, that's perfect, because I can get a nifty exchange up here in the great white north.

As for periods, how about the Restoration? I'm pretty good on that, I think.

[Admin]

Yes $20 or the equivalent.

Remember though, a half page to page. So thats 22-44 pages of summary.

Still if you're reading the book anyway it shouldn't be too hard to write as you go along.

[Eric, son of Chuck]

Even with exchange, 28 bucks Canadian for a 22-24 page summary doesn't sound like that much fun. I'll just go for the periods, for now. Maybe when I'm required to do reports on these books anyway, I'll get some of those done.

[Admin]

For the periods you'd need to do 2 to get the same amount, and they of course would need to approved by me for quality/content before you get paid.

[Eric, son of Chuck]

Righto, I'll keep you posted. Do you want them e-mailed to you?

[Admin]

Yes, webmaster@

I would definately like an opportunity to write introductions or summaries for you....soo yif you would maybe give me more info and a book you would like me to start on, it would be much appreciated.

[Admin]

The book I'm most interested in getting a summary for right now is 1984 by George Orwell.

It's also a shorter book so it should be an easy one.

[RainRunner]

Ok ill get to it... would you like me to send it to you chapter by chapter or maybe just the first so you may check my work????

[Admin]

Just the first should be fine.

Is there a book I can get started on? Could you possibly give me a list to choose from?

Thanks!
