Hello there, At the risk of undue redundancy—is there any other kind?—I reissue below the Call for Papers in Creative Fiction at the 2024 PCA Conference in Chicago. Many of you in this group have presented before, and we hope that all of you will consider submitting proposals for the spring. Please see the call below and, if you please, heed it. The area looks forward to the prospect of reading your submissions—and possibly hearing you read them in Chicago. Thank you very much. Yours, William Belford Call for Papers The Creative Fiction section of the Popular Culture Association invites 15-20 minute fiction pieces for the upcoming annual PCA/ACA national conference in San Antonio, Texas.
