Very cool project that Perseus Books Group is helming this year at BookExpoAmerica in NY. (I will be there next week!)
The project is titled, BOOK: The Sequel and I just got my shiny new widget for it to put on my blog. I’m entering today.
Perseus Books Group is spearheading this collaborative effort to publish a book – during the span of BEA – to highlight all the new ways to publish. The book will be created by all of you and published into as many formats as possible in 48 hours.
Submissions are ongoing and readers are invited to write the first sentence of a sequel to a book they love (and the title if they are feeling espescially creative.) The website will display contributions as they are accepted.
Submissions close on Thursday May 28th, at 4pm – first day of BEA.
Samples from the press announcement include:
“You see; I was right.” (From Das Kapital (revised edition) by Karl Marx
“Call Me, Ishmael!” (From Moby Dick’s Guide to Dating at Sea)
The book party launch will take place in the Perseus Books Group booth (#4237) at 4pm on Saturday, May 30th. All royalties from BOOK: The Sequel will go to the National Book Foundation.
Perseus Books Group ROCKS! Go and enter today.
