CFP: Librarians Publishing for Professional and Personal Development (Essays for Monograph)
As a successfully published librarian, please consider contributing to Librarians Publishing for Professional and Personal Development aimed at helping U.S. librarians become published.
Since publishers only give contracts/royalties to authors or co-authors, I will do the sending of royalty checks myself based on paperwork I receive. Only the first year's royalties will be divided among the 18 contributors; subsequent royalties remaining with me as editor. Contributors receive a complimentary book.
Word total for 3 articles based on the writer's experience is 4,000: one article may be 1500 words, another 1500 words, the last 1,000 to total 4,000. Deadline for e-mailing articles is September 1, 2006.
Please e-mail a 50-55 word bio with your present position, relevant publications, awards, and highlights as a librarian for the contributor page.
One of the books I co-authored is http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?isbn=0-7864-2108-8. The most recent one for Peter Lang Publishing is forthcoming.

Librarians as poets, YA authors, book reviewers, columnists, essayists, magazine contributors, textbook writers, children's books, are just a few ways librarians are interested in knowing how to get published.
Thank you for your consideration and do ask questions!
