Contemporary Authors: Vols 13-16

Part of the award-winning Contemporary Authors(R) series, Contemporary Authors(R) First Revision contains bio-bibliographical information on novelists, poets, playwrights, nonfiction writers, journalists, screenwriters, and other authors.

Sketches typically include personal information, addresses, career history, writings, work in progress, biographical/critical sources and authors comments and/or informative essays about their lives and work. Updating the information on authors from the first 44 volumes of Contemporary Authors(R), the 11 volumes in the First Revision series, coupled with the Contemporary Authors(R) Permanent Series (2 volumes) replace the Contemporary Authors(R) original volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5-6 through 41-44. Updated author entries are now published through the more efficient Contemporary Authors(R) New Revision series.
