Nancy J. Cohen Papers
Collection
Identifier: MS-0217
Collection Organization
Manuscript materials, including novel drafts and galley copies, comprise the bulk of the Nancy J. Cohen Papers. The majority of these manuscript materials were created for the Bad Hair Day series of futuristic romance novels written under the name Nancy Cane. The collection also includes manuscript materials for Cohen's Drift Lords series. Manuscript materials are arranged by title and can be found in two series in this collection (at the beginning and end).
The collection also includes correspondence, fan letters, publicity materials, and materials regarding personal appearances by Nancy J. Cohen.
This collection will be of interest to researchers examining Cohen's work, as well as the literary process of authors who write series fiction across multiple genres.
