Series III: Fiction, 1907-1952

This series is composed primarily of drafts and occasional printed copies of Connolly's short stories, poems, radio and television concepts, and her novel Judy Grant: Editor. Like her nonfiction articles, few of Connolly's fiction drafts are dated, although most were probably written before 1920. Files occasionally contain research notes, correspondence with publishers and editors, or clippings of published works and their associated illustrations.
