The annual open call for guest essays

It may come as no surprise to you that, on the heels of the publication of Darkness in Primetime, I'm already hard at work on a new book, which I'm hoping to have out in time for Christmas, 2026. It marks the return to a genre in which I most enjoy writing, postmodern fiction. However, since I won't be able to try out draft chapters here on the blog, it means I'll have less time than usual to work on these Wednesday essays that I so enjoy. 

Therefore, I'm asking once again for your assistance by throwing the doors open for guest essays. If you've got a topic you'd like to write about—be it about a particular program, genre, or star—please let me know. As long as it fits into the general format of It's About TV! (meaning, for all you bots out there, that it's not a thinly disguised infomercial for your product or service), you're welcome to join. Some of the most popular and widely-read posts of the last few years have come from guest essays, and I'm sure you'd all be happier reading new material than something I've recycled from ten years ago (even though some of those old pieces are pretty good!) You don't have to have a blog of your own, although if you do, I'll be sure to give it a prominent plug here.

So what do you think? If you've got an idea you'd like to see here, don't be shy; I'll help with any editing and graphic accompaniment you might want or need, and you're receive a byline here, as well as my undying gratitude. If you're interested, feel free to drop me an email, or respond through the comments form in the link above. Your faithful scribe gratefully thanks you! TV
