Originally, I was going to lease him out and leave him here for a few months, but I was having serious anxieties over it so my mom (also big animal person) said I need to just arrange to take him with me at the time I go. I purposely only applied to schools in locations where the cost of living is fairly low, equating to the cost of having a horse being cheaper than say the Northeast. There are some beautiful places up here for boarding and riding. Oh, and the U has amazing facilities and a great equine health program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khigh Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'd like some input from y'all English folk. If I were to write a super sarcastic "survival guide" book, which title would you use: Southern Girl in the North Country -or- Southern Spice and Minnesota Nice?

Yes! Anyone here care to help me with my paper proposal by telling me how much info (conference details, my bio) I'm supposed to include? And if the format should be MLA Chicago xyz? I know it's unrelated to being 'shellackled' (my mind still says that), but why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Constructing Experience: Narrative Innovations Across Time and Media" They say to include a short bio, but I don't know if it should be in the body with my topic? Should it be in the 3rd person? Should I include time/date/etc. of the conference? Is it MLA style, or no? There are so many different templates online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do MLA style if you'd like, but it doesn't necessarily matter for conference proposals because you typically don't have to cite anything. Rather, pick a font/size that's readable (probably TNR). Your bio should probably be separate. For instances of bios, I normally include "mk-8 is an MA student here. she researches x and y, and plans to pursue a PhD" or something similar. If you'd like, you can send me a PM and I can shoot you and email of how I've formatted conference proposals before. I looked up the conference, and it looks like you need to email the proposal (rather than a form or something, ugh, forms are so much easier), so what I typically do for that is include the info in the body of the email and an attachment. Hope this helps! Edited January 31, 2018 by mk-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
