<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">I'm writing because I'm starting to get ready for another set of books for the Practical Guides for Librarians series from Rowman & Littlefield Publishers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">I'm looking for authors and book ideas for next year's books!!! I'm hoping to do 10-15 books in these main areas of interest - technology, makerspaces, and young adult topics such as comics, fandoms, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">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 the linked form. It doesn't have to be a full proposal - just
a sentence or two with your idea.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Here's the full call for participation, please check out the books we're already working on so you don't pitch those same ideas!:<o:p></o:p></p>
