Call for Submissions

Roger Armbrust has asked me to post this announcement.

Call for Submissions for the Our National Conversation Series

"Our National Conversation book series covers vital American concerns including—but not limited to—water supply, health care, energy, homelessness, public education, taxation, our Constitution, as well as presidential, Congressional, judicial, and corporate accountability."

He notes that they are "primarily concerned with vital issues directly impacting the American continent, or a region thereof, but will also consider topics international in scope. Any matter affecting the common good. Accepted projects most likely will involve informational manuscripts bearing on a critical national issue, but may also range from personal and professional experiences to photojournalism."

An additional item: "For Discussion series, we'll look for tight writing, probably 150-200 typewritten pages."

On a personal note, if you don't know Roger Armbrust, you should. He was national news editor for Backstage, taught writing at New York University and has a whole host of other credits to his name. I've also posted a series of interviews with him on Project 1968. He's a friend and a good guy.
