The names of the  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 .

The unsigned posts are written by Gene Mirabelli. And no, he’s not a committee.

If you, reader, have a few crisply written and witty 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.

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. We regret having to provide our email address in this somewhat odd fashion, but we hope to reduce spam and defeat malicious mail programs this way. It usually works. We’re not web geeks. 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.
