Apply: MLA Field Bibliographer Needed

Posted on by

Dear Writing Centers List:
For over 20 years I have been the field bibliographer for the MLA bibliography, working on the Writing Center Journal and Writing Lab Newsletter. I have achieved the rank of Distinguished Bibliographer.
It’s time that I pass the role onto a younger colleague who can serve in this capacity for the next 20 years or so.
Here is some info about what the filed bibliographers do.

Also there is a $500 fellowship you can apply for.
(this year’s deadline is passed but you can apply for next year).

If you are interested but want to have a conversation about it first, I am happy to. I would really like to find someone who will commit to doing this long-term, as I have.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Babcock
