Writings 1956-2014 (MC 203 Series 08)
Size: 5 linear feet

The Writings series is divided into six subseries, which include Reviews by Lee Smith, Drafts of Novels, Short Stories, Miscellaneous Writing, and Essays, and Guests on Earth, research and drafts.

The series documents Smith's prolific work as a writer. Drafts of Novels are arranged by chronological order of novels. Many of the records document the process of creating a novel from Smith's handwritten text to a computer generated manuscript to the blue lines of the novel. Notes and editorial comments accompany drafts of novels. The Short Stories are divided into published and unpublished. This series also shows all the indepth research Smith carried out in order to write many of her novels, particularly Guests on Earth.
