A new books and reading publication now open for your submissions

A while back I decided to create a publication for my articles about books as a way to separate those from the other random articles I write. When I created the publication I wasn’t sure I would ever ask for submissions from others. I thought it might remain a solo publication.

I have reconsidered that notion and I have decided to open it up for anyone who is looking for a new place to publish articles about books and reading.

If you would like to be there at the beginning of a publication, this is for you.

I will also start trying to recruit my friends who write elsehwhere to start adding their reviews here as well.

A little about me — I am a former librarian. I have promoted books in schools, in the library, and at statewide conferences. I wrote book reviews for the library blog and I facilitated book groups for the library. I think you would be in good hands here.

There will only be a few submission guidelines:

articles must be about books and reading

all images must be attributed and follow Medium guidelines

please proof and edit before submission

Please comment if you would like to be added as a writer and share this with your writer friends.
