Additional Comments

These anthologies have become some of the most popular in the U. S., and for this reason they continue to bring in royalties from work I did ten years ago. I do almost nothing now with these anthologies. They've paid for themselves many times over, and that is a combination of strong selections and unbelievable good luck. N/A I receive two royalty checks a year, one around September 1, the other around March 1. While the anthologies are related to my profession as a writer and anthologist, they are peripheral to the work I do at UTEP—except that they bring our Creative Writing Department continued respect.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
