Things changed a bit a little over a year ago when I invited Betsy to come &#8220;above the line&#8221; and contribute her thoughts on things she&#8217;s interested in. You&#8217;ve seen her posts on <em>The New Yorker<\/em> fiction and poetry and Alice Munro. I love our collaboration, and I assure you it is not coming to an end.<\/p>\n<p>I receive a number of review copies each week, and I simply cannot read and review them all. I&#8217;d love to have some help with those, but it&#8217;s not limited to that. In general, I&#8217;m hoping to expand coverage on this site. If you have something you&#8217;d like to review, write, share, or whatever, please reach out to me.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I&#8217;m looking for a few contributors, either as regular or one-time posters, who are interested in joining the small Mookse and Gripes team in the following areas.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reviews of books, stories, poems, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Reviews of films from any and all eras<\/li>\n<li>Interviews of authors or artists<\/li>\n<li>Essays about things we&#8217;re interested in around here<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Word length<\/span>: I am not a stickler for word length, though most posts here range from 700 &#8211; 1500 words. As editor, I may ask you to add or cut depending on what I feel a piece needs (or whims, or whatever).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Payment<\/span>: I regret that at the moment I&#8217;m not able to pay you for your contributions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Editorial control<\/span>: I maintain full editorial control. At this stage of my life, I&#8217;m pretty easy-going. If you&#8217;re interested in joining, I will write more about my viewpoints and expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Email questions, queries, and articles to <a href=\"mailto:mookseandgripes@gmail.com\">mookseandgripes@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For nearly six years The Mookse and the Gripes has run as a mostly solo affair &#8212; though I have many people to thank for making it what it is today.
