SUBSERIES 2a. Publishers/Periodicals
Box 1, Folders 1-38
Some of the most interesting reading in this collection comes from this series. Flisch was diligent in submitting her manuscripts over and over again to as many publishers and publications as possible in the hope of finding someone willing to break new ground in her representation of strong, capable women as the main characters of many of her works. The style and structure of her works were frequently praised while her choice of storyline or characters were not. Flisch responded to any criticism which did not require her to compromise her standards of characterization; she frequently resubmitted works she had rewritten to comply with suggestions of style or form. This series includes extensive correspondence from Thomas Crowell and Company, publishers of Flisch's second novel, Old Hurricane.
Folders 1-12 are in alphabetical order under the title of the submitted manuscript. When there is multiple correspondence from a source (Folders 13-38) the letters are located in alphabetical order under the name of the publisher or periodical source. The items in each file are in chronological order with the undated items being last in the folder.

This series contains manuscripts of unpublished fictional works written by Flisch.

This series is arranged in alphabetical order by the title of the work; lengthy works are then subdivided and filed in the order of consecutive pages, each file containing approximately twenty pages, divided at the nearest chapter heading.

SUBSERIES 10e. Education/Career
Box 4, Folders 19-27
This section provides documentation of various aspects of Flisch's education and career. They are arranged in the approximate chronological order of her affiliation. The items in each individual folder are arranged in chronological order. "Stocks and Bonds" (Folder 25) represents one of the most intriguing gaps in the papers. Flisch frequently wrote her manuscripts on the backs of previously used paper. Several sheets of letterhead reading "Julia A. Flisch, Stocks and Bonds" were among the paper used. To date little other pertinent information has been located.
Richmond County Board of Education (Folder 27) represents another mystery. In an "off-the-record" interview with a former Flisch associate, it was stated that Flisch organized a county wide teachers strike in Augusta. To this date the only confirming information located was found on the back of manuscript pages: copies of two memos requesting meetings with the Board of Education and a Teachers' Committee, chaired by Flisch. These are included in this file.
