NOTES:

I wish search committees would avoid this sort of thing -- asking hundreds of candidates to craft multiple pieces beyond a cover letter and CV, all to their arbitrary length requirements (especially the writing sample, which is typically the length of an article, so more like 6,000-9,000). And they've given applicants all of 3 weeks to do this during a busy season!

--I agree, but an abruptly truncated article (cut at 6K words) is more than acceptable. The committee is primarily looking to gain a sense of your writing style and potential for publication. You can always host the completed document on a homepage/academia.edu

--does anyone actually edit their articles down to 6k for them? I certainly didn't; I just use a PDF anyone can get from JSTOR or the MLA database. It looks like a real "writing sample" to me and not the crap I would have to submit in a .docx. I'm sorry, but the committee members--if they get so overworked in rejecting hundreds of applications after only a cursory read, and feel their tenured hides are being overworked--can stop after reading 6,001 words and reject me for going over the limit.
