Hi Everyone,
I've just taken on the role of Series Editor for Practical Guides for Librarians a very popular book series from Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. And I'm looking for authors and book ideas for this first year's books!!! I'm hoping to do 10-15 books in my main areas of interest - technology, makerspaces, and young adult topics such as comics, fandoms, etc.
If you think you might be interested in writing a book for the series - yes there are royalties involved!! - please briefly pitch me your idea on this linked form. It doesn't have to be a full proposal - just a sentence or two with your idea:

And here's just one book in the series to give you an idea of the format/layout of the books:
