Our address is critics at criticalpages.com  Of course, you should replace the word “at” with @ and run it all together so it looks like all other email addresses.  If you, reader, have a few crisply written paragraphs on an engaging topic that you’d like to contribute to this site, send them along. OK, if they’re engaging, that’s probably good enough.  Contributors get a byline . No payment, just the byline.

Eugene (Gene) Mirabelli is the most frequent writer on these pages. The unsigned posts are by Gene — not signing his posts keeps down the clutter. Mirabelli is a novelist and his most recent book, published by McPherson & Co., is Renato, the Painter.   We think readers of Critical Pages are the kind or readers who’ll like it. More information about him and his novel is available at his website.

The names of other  writers who contribute posts are attached to whatever they write.  Jo Page, a fiction writer and essayist, is also a Lutheran pastor.  She’s also the mother of two young women, but we could go on with biographical information forever. Marilyn Robertson is a poet, song writer and singer. She has a voice to fall in love with.  Jack Slack is a writer,  gold craftsman and adventurer  — you’ll see what we mean by adventurer if you check out his e-book at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006QZR0NS .

Critical Pages doesn’t have a fresh post every day, but we do try to get something up every few days. We’re not professional Web writers. And you’ve probably noticed we’re not professional up-to-the-minute Web masters. If we were, we probably wouldn’t have put up this photo of a desk with pens and stationery and an old fashioned device for weighing mail.
