There's a discussion of a book Schalk planned in Bacon, Daisy (1954). Love Story Writer. pp. 12-13. Bacon writes:
Gertrude Schalk, a Boston girl who was a suburban correspondent for the Boston Post and who started writing love story fiction after hearing the broadcasts of our Love Story radio program over the Columbia Network, had what seemed like a unique idea for a book on writing. She wanted me to publish the history of her stories which were purchased for Love Story Magazine—from the time of each submission and our exchange of letters about the revision until the story was finally accepted and published. After a time, she had a collection of her stories in their different stages between their rewritings and I had her letters accompanying the submitted manuscripts and the carbons of my replies reporting on the story and outlining the revision to be done.
The first part of the book was to carry the stories as they were originally written; the second would be the correspodence between us showing the revision step by step and the third would give the stories as they were printed in the magazine.
We had a publisher interested in bringing the book out and then Gertrude's collection of manuscripts was accidentally thrown into the waste basket and burned.
Leaving this here for anyone interesting in using this to expand the article. In addition, the first paragraph of the above is quoted by Brooks Hefner in Black Pulp, the first couple of pages of chapter 2, p. 51 et seq.; Hefner spends several pages on Schalk and that would be another useful source for this article.
