A call for submissions to my fellow Anarchists,
Arash
Karimi and I are working on an anarchist book project. This is a call
for submissions as roughly half the book is going to be dedicated to
essays written by comrades like yourself. If you would like to submit
something or if you know of anyone who would be interested in this
project, please get in touch. There really isn't going to be any hard
submissions guidelines. Just make sure the essay is relevant to
anarchism and get your essay (at least a first draft, but specify that
it is a first draft) to us by January 2010. Length isn't really an
issue and the topic could be virtually anything. The IWW, Emma Goldman,
Solidarity, Education, Anarchism Vs. _________, Contemporary anarchism,
Tactics, Workers self-management, or Permaculture, are just a few
example topics. I won’t guarantee that your contribution will be
accepted (we will be using collective decision making in the essay
acceptance process) but I will insure that your name is given credit in
the book. Probably in some sort of special thanks page. So, if you are
interested or you know of anyone who might be, please get in touch with
us. Also if you happen to visit the Facebook page and you see that
someone has said they are going to write an essay with your topic or a
very similar one already, don't worry about it. there is no guarantee
that they will even actually send us that essay and if if they do,
there is no guarantee that you can't do better than them. Also, we
might accept two or more essays that cover any single topic. If your
essay does not get into the book, Arash and I have been talking about
starting a journal/magazine about anarchism after the book takes off.
With your permission we might want to use your essay for that project
if it does not get accepted. The journal is still in the hypothetical
stage so we can't even guarantee entry into that project but I think if
the book is successful, there would be little to no reason not to green
light that project.
Also, if you have any experience with book
publishing, marketing or promotion please get in touch with us. really
if you have ANY advice we would greatly appreciate it.
Here are some links so you can get in touch with us and also be updated with the project,

before or if you are not an anarchist or do not wish to contribute, I
do apologize for bothering you. Thank you for taking the time to read
this.
