Guest Essays

I am happy to offer this site as a place where people who have something appropriate they would like to say can post a contribution.

These 'guest essays', so long as they are broadly relevant to the central theme of the site, may take any form - ranging from the drily objective to the intensely subjective and personal - and may make full use of the opportunities offered by web publishing in terms of links, graphics, etc. (provided these are not excessively space-consuming).

I may sometimes invite contributions but I hope also that people will come forward with suggestions. Please contact me if you would like to make a contribution. I do reserve the right to decline offers, and if this happens I'll try to give my reasons for doing so, but what I'm looking for are essays which will be of interest to visitors to the site, whether or not they might find their way into more conventional publications.
