"The Tattered Scribe," a blog written by students for students, is looking for short articles dealing with English majors and general English studies. The articles should be written in a style appropriate for blogs and should be under 1500 words; shorter pieces (lists, tips, brief observations, etc.) are also welcome. We're looking for articles that are less academic than quirky in nature. For example, an article titled "A Postmodern Perspective of Shakespeare's Influence in Academia" would be less preferable than an article titled "Why Shakespeare Rules the School (and why he really sucks)."
Other examples:
- The Stupidest Mistakes You'll Make with MLA
- Why James Joyce is a Sexist Pig
- How to Avoid Working at McDonald's After Graduate School
- Seven Tips for Procrastinators (okay, six tips)
- Compromising Pictures of Me with my Favorite Books
- How to BS Your Way Through Literary Analysis
- Indiana Jones' Bookshelf
- What the #&*! is Rhetoric Anyway?
Feel free to be creative with your topics, but remember that "The Tattered Scribe" can be read and enjoyed by anyone, including professors.
