Sylvie Kurtz Papers

 Collection
Identifier: MS-0166

Collection Organization

The Sylvie Kurtz Papers contain manuscripts, correspondence, proofs, galleys, notes, promotional items, and reviews, dating from 1996-2005. The novel manuscripts make up the largest part of the collection. Because of the completeness of this series, the researcher can trace the evolution of many of her works from story outlines to publication. Also included are notes on character development and revisions. In addition, there are interviews with the author.

The manuscript materials are organized chronologically by the date of publication. The materials related to each book may have varying dates or be undated.

Correspondence is also included in the collection. Editorial correspondence (1999-2002) contains her correspondence with editors, other writers and research resources. Reader correspondence (1999-2002 plus undated) contains personal opinions and questions from the public.
