Seems much of the email I sent Sunday got delayed at the gate. Apologies if
you are receiving this twice.

Forwarding from Hannah, but with some heavy support. As you may recall, it
was decided that in the interest of rigor we would reject a portion of the
proposals we received. Several offered to mentor those who were turned down
in order to push forward a larger, more inclusive infrastructure for CBW
that allows for our newer voices to be heard as well as those more
experienced one.

That said, here's Hannah . . .

CBW Board--Let's put our money where our mouth is.  Would someone be willing
to reread Sara's proposal and get in touch with her to chat about why it may
have received mixed reviews (some up and some down) and/or was not selected
for presentation, and what else she might do with that piece?

Dear Sara,

This letter is to inform you that your proposal has not been accepted for
the Council on Basic Writing's Preconference Workshop, taking place on
Wednesday, April 6, 2011, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Each year, the Council on Basic Writing (CBW) holds a day-long workshop to
the national CCCC (Conference on College Composition and Communication)
begins. As you know, the theme of the 2001 CBW workshop is "We Are Not
Alone: Strategic Coalition Building Across (Contested) Spaces Serving Basic
Writers."  While reviewers appreciated much about your work, there were an
array of strong proposals, and those selected were most tightly linked to
the theme, as well as conveying an innovative approach to it.

The CBW very much wants to support scholars in the field, especially
emerging scholars.  If you would like feedback about your proposal,
mentorship about revision, or guidance about where else to submit your work,
please contact CBW Co-Chairs Shannon Carter Shannon Carter [
Shannon_Carter at tamu-commerce.edu] and Hannah Ashley [hashley at wcupa.edu] and
we will put you in touch with a member of the CBW Board who would be happy
to discuss your proposal with you.

Please consider submitting to BWe, The Basic Writing E-Journal, for its
special issue Multimodal Composing: Opportunities and Challenges in Basic
Writing Contexts  at
http://orgs.tamu-commerce.edu/BWe/documents/Finals/2011submissions.pdf (Oct
15, 2010 Deadline).

We look forward to seeing you in attendance at this and future CBW
Workshops-

Hannah Ashley, on behalf of the CBW Board
