Ms. Galle:

This was posted on September 15th, so how can the deadline be Sept. 15th as well?  Please let me know if it is too late for me to submit a paper based on  my book called "Colonial Virginia's Cooking Dynasty," which does cover the late 17th to early 18th century and African-American/Native American contributions, etc.

Thank you,
Katharine E. Harbury
