This series contains business files, as well as files on other professional subjects, including files related to specific writing projects. These files were filed and received separately from records related to the publication of Davis' books, which are filed in Series I: Book Production and Related Materials.
These files contain records related to smaller writing projects, such as articles, blurbs, essays, fiction for journals and magazines, memorials, prefaces, readings, reviews, and talks. Files on smaller projects often contain both business correspondence and manuscripts, proofs, reviews, and related material together in the same file. There are files related to specific publications, publishers, and other projects, such as Flaubert and Proust. There are also general files on anthologies and magazine work. In addition, there are chronological files related to Davis' literary agent, Denise Shannon Literary Agency (DSLA), as well as miscellaneous business files.
There are some articles and interviews related to Davis in the professional files. These are frequently filed by either publication name or the name of the interviewer, but there are also some general files for interviews, while others are filed with the general readings files. There are additional published interviews filed with Series VIII: Publications.
The series also contains files related to specific panels, readings, talks, and other events. Most of these are filed by the name of the event or its location, although there are also general files for readings, residencies, talks, and interviews. Files related to master and similar classes – both business files and teaching files – are filed with Series V: Teaching Files.
The series also contains files related to fellowships, grants, and other awards including the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, Guggenheim, MacArthur Fellowship, National Book Award, National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), PEN, and the Pushcart Prize.
There is some correspondence with individuals on professional subjects in this series, but most files for individual correspondents were filed with Davis' personal correspondence.
Files were arranged alphabetically; miscellaneous business files follow at the end of the series.
