CALL FOR WRITERS (AGAIN)
Do you have a new book? Are you working on one? If so, please let me know.
I’m offering this call to help publicize new writers and writing projects here on Late Last Night Books. I’ll even help with a not-so-newly published book.
There’s no gimmick. I’m looking for writers to interview in future blog posts. Whatever your write or wrote or are writing, you almost certainly qualify.
Any kind of writing is fair game: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, plays, translations, and anything else involving putting words together. I’d love to know more about what you’re doing.
I’m offering up this space to writers in need of publicity once again because, frankly, the well has run dry. When I first put out a call for writers a few months ago, I got a few responses. That was gratifying. At least a handful of people apparently read my blog.
At the same time, the response was also depressing. I still am not convinced that sending my monthly musings off into cyberspace is great use of my time or whatever minuscule resources are required to launch it. There are already far too many voices battling it out for attention on the Internet. It would perhaps be better to read more of them instead of adding to the cacophony.
So, this is what I decided: If I am going to keep blogging every month, I would like to make the blog more useful. Late Last Night Books is all about serving the writing community, after all. And what we all need, however, successful or prolific we may be, is publicity.
That is why, once again, I’m making an offer to consider interviewing any writers out there who happen to be reading this. Let me know if you’re interested by sending me a note. Most likely I’ll have questions. If I do, I’d be happy to set up an interview and then share it here in the months to come.
Any takers?
