Random House (Rob Cowley), 1980 - 1985

Business correspondence relates to Vliet’s writing career, and covers such subjects as writing submissions, editing of works to be published, royalties for published works. Correspondents include various poetry and literary journals, Texas Institute of Letters, the Ford Foundation, and Vliet’s agent, Lucy Kroll, of the Lucy Kroll Agency.

Two non-correspondence files were filed by the author with this business correspondence, and are located at the beginning of this group of correspondence. The first of these, “Market List”, is a list of journals and publishers to contact; the second file, “Notes on copyright”, includes lists of Vliet’s works and their copyright status (transfer of copyright, renewal dates for copyright, etc.) and notes regarding royalties.
