CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The Book Laureate is a new digital magazine for writers, readers, bloggers and others interested in books and publishing. We feature behind-the-scenes articles by published as well as up-and-coming authors. Focusing on the trials of publishing, the next big idea and what it is like to reside the bowels of the rejection pile, this magazine offers an array of content to pique interest.

Each month, The Book Laureate will feature one prominent author as it's feature with an in-depth interview, photos, and riddled with inside-scoop on how the big-name became just that.

Currently, we are seeking high-quality, well-polished short stories and articles. Articles should focus on themes such as; While I’m Waiting to Be A Successful Author, Moments of Inspiration and the Journey to Being Published. Other ideas will be accepted, these are just a few to get you thinking.

Article length should be no more than 500 words. Short Story length should be no more than 1,000 words. Please include a bio and if you have a published book, a book blurb. Please note content of biography and/or book blurb may be edited in order to fit the page.

To submit, please e-mail us at booklaureate@basedpress.com.
We ONLY accept content in PDF. Include your name, website, book blurb and correct contact information.

Submission deadline for our first issue is December 5th, 2009.

If your piece is not chosen, you may resubmit for another issue. Articles and short stories will be chosen for their theme, quality, and how it compliments the featured interview. This is not first come, first serve. We urge you to take care in editing and proofreading your final copy before submission. You will be notified via e-mail if your piece is chosen so you may promote it as you see fit.

We are looking for raw, candid pieces that are original, and on topic of books and publishing. You agree upon submission that the content submitted is original, and has not been previously published in any medium.

**We do not pay for submitted content, and you permit The Book Laureate to use submitted content free of charge.
