Immortalize Yourself: Get Published!

You don't need an agent, or a publisher. You just have to have something to say.
We are making a call for submissions for the next blog books. We don't normally ask for submissions, because our books aren't a popularity contest or an awards show. But the next planned books cover travel, food, and crafts, and submissions work perfectly for these topics.

If you or someone you know has a great entry or blog on any of those topics, we would like you to send us the link. We're looking for:

Craft Projects
Recipes
Great stories about food
Great travel tips or stories

The Rules:
-If you already appear in Never Threaten to Eat Your Co-Workers, you aren't eligible...sorry.
-You don't have to be the blogger to nominate someone, but feel free to shamelessly promote yourself.
-The content has to originate from a blog (we make no distinction between blog and journal). If you aren't sure whether it qualifies, submit it anyway.
-It has to be an original work.
-The writer must own the rights to the material.
-The entry doesn't require tons of hyperlinks to contribute to the overall content of the piece.

Helpful Tips:
-If you want us to look at a specific entry, be sure to include the link.
-Links only please...don't copy and paste actual entries
-If the site isn't dedicated to one of these topics, then point to a specific entry.

More info:
-We will ask for rights to reprint the material. You aren't prevented from publishing it again, and you retain the rights. I'm a writer, so I wouldn't make other writers give up their ownership.
-We pay an advance towards future royalties for work we accept. The advance isn't a fortune, and you won't get rich from it.
-Each blogger in the book shares equally in the royalties from the book with the other bloggers. No one blogger makes any more or less than any other.
-You get a free copy of the book, of course.
-We're not design snobs. We care about content and ideas, not web design. Don't feel because you don't have the best designed site that you don't have a chance. And for goodness sake, don't be shy. Not everyone is Hemingway, but everyone has something to say.
