The (2) Writings Series contains various writings by Price and is divided into the Books, Scribner's Files, Uncollected Fiction and Nonfiction, Price Writing in Serials, Reviews by Price, Addresses and Speeches, and Audiovisual Recordings of Price Regarding Writing subseries. The Books subseries is composed chiefly of drafts, typescripts, and proofs of Price's novels, plays, autobiographical works, and volumes of poetry, many with Price's notations and revisions, and provides a thorough representation of the development of each. Following his death, DUL received the materials for the books Letter to a Godchild; Ardent Spirits; and, Midstream, which were added to their own sub-subseries. Scribner, Price's longtime publisher, provided the materials in Scribner's Files, offering insight into the publishing process. Materials include correspondence, proposals, editing and production notes, marketing and promotion information, and reviews. The Price Writing in Serials subseries contains published essays, poems, and short stories. The Reviews by Price subseries includes Price's writing about other artists' work. Transcripts of his speeches and interviews appear in the Speeches and Addresses subseries. And the Audiovisual Recordings of Price Regarding Writing subseries includes recordings of Price discussing, reading, or performing his written materials and is arranged chronologically.
