"Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists."

3. Woman Behind the Words
&& * && *&& * && * && * && * && * &&&

Eudora Welty
April 13,1909 - July 23,2001

Born in Jackson, Mississippi to Christopher Webb Welty and Christina Andrews Welty, Eudora Welty had two brothers, Edward Jefferson and Walter Andrews. She graduated from Jackson Central High School in 1925 and studied at Mississippi State College for Women in Columbia, Mississippi before finishing her last two years at the University at Wisconsin at Madison. At Columbia University, she completed a Masters in the Graduate School of Business, but returned to her hometown after the sudden death of her father in 1931, where she took a job with the local radio station and wrote Delta and Jackson society news for the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

From 1935-36, she was employed on projects under the WPA as part of Roosevelt’s New Deal. She traveled widely for the promotion of civil and industrial projects in poor and remote areas of the state, providing much of the material used later in her stories. Her first important story, “Death of a traveling Salesman” edited by John Rood appeared in 1936. Thereon, her career flourished. Her life encountered much hardship, not only through her WPA work, but also at home. In 1946, her first novel, Delta Wedding, was published, but success came with personal hardship. Her two brothers were

diagnosed with severe arthritis and her mother, paralyzed by a stroke. The next fifteen years, she supported her invalid family. In 1964, The Shoe Bird was published by Harcourt, Brace and World, followed by Thirteen Stories in 1965. In 1966, she received the Creative Arts Medal for Fiction from Brandeis University, but public achievements were countered by personal tragedy: her brothers and mother died in 1966.

She published several story collections including, A Curtain of Green (1941,1964), The Wide Net, (1942) Selected Stories (1953), and The Bride of Innisfallen (1955). “Why I live at the P.O.” is one of her best-known stories typifying a zany world. The novella, Robber Bridegroom was also produced for stage. She produced at least three noteworthy novels, Ponder Heart (1954), Losing Battles (1970) and The Optimist’s Daughter (1972).

She served as a member of the New York Times book staff, and in 1958, she was an Honorary Consultant to the Library of Congress. She received two Guggenheim Fellowships (1942,1949) for literature. The “Worn Path” took an O Henry Prize in 1942. She recieved four awards for Best American Short Stories. In 1973, she received a Pulitzer for Optimist’s Daughter. Other awards include: the French Legion de Honneur, the French Chevalier de l’Odre des Artes et Lettres medal and the Medal of Freedom given by two presidents, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. In 1962, she presented William Faulkner with the Gold Medal for Fiction from the National Institute of Arts and :Letters which she later also received in 1972. When she died on July 23, 2001, Eudora Welty held more than 70 Awards, Honors and Titles in recognition for her achievements in literature.

The writer is gone, but words live on.

Editorial and Writing
The Editorial team is responsible for the Fool's voice and communicating the Fool's message. Primarily writers and editors, these folks prepare our online content, as well as content for our monthly newsletters, weekly newspaper feature, books, and many other offerings. Some spend much of their time analyzing and discussing companies. Others focus on mostly educational efforts, explaining aspects of investing and personal finance. Most also spend time on our message boards, interacting with our Fool community. One thing that differentiates Fool writers from many other financial writers is that most are investors themselves: We're investors writing for investors.

If you're interested in writing for the Fool, know that we look for people with investing smarts, a Foolish sensibility, and the ability to write clearly and amusingly. It's important that you "get" Foolishness. Spend time on our site, hang out on the message boards, and get a feel for what's Foolish and what's not. The Editorial team is on a mission to educate, inform, and amuse the world. Wanna join us? We accept applications for full time, freelance, and contract.

This is a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-dirty editing job. You'll be on the lookout for problems of clarity, grammar, style, and accuracy, helping to ensure error-free and Foolish content. You'll be working with a team of financial experts, writers, analysts, fact checkers, and editors to produce investing and personal finance information that educates, amuses, and enriches our readers.

We're looking for only the most neurotic editors, those who can spot a dangling modifier from 50 paces and feel queasy at the sight of a mistaken stock ticker. This position calls for a lot of juggling, so we need someone who is adaptable, patient, meticulous, reliable, and cool under constant deadline pressure.

As editor, you'll play a lead role in getting our products in perfect condition for publication, whether that entails overhauling entire sections or just polishing the finer points. And you'll publish articles directly on our website via the Fool's content management system, so you'll need to be technologically savvy, comfortable editing on a computer (you won't have time to edit on paper), and adept at navigating the Internet.
