The book collection Critical Insights: The Thriller is looking for  contributors for a collection of essays to be published by the Salem Press. solicited essays should be between 4,000 and 5,000 words in length, and each should be written for the general reader, avoiding specialized academic language or scholarly jargon.

Payment for each essay is $250.000 (plus a copy of the book). The publisher desires to release this volume by the end of 2013, so the due date for the first draft of each essay is November 1, 2013. For a list of topics and other information contact Gary Hoppenstand:  hoppens2@msu.edu
