So I submitted a short piece for this project.

They’ll be wanting more things—fiction, poetry, nonfiction, art, photos.

Get on it, New Orleans.

New Orleans, What’s Your Story?
Share it at www.bookbyauthors.org

Book by Authors seeks written works and visual art inspired by New
Orleans. Selected works will be published in the book “New Orleans by New
Orleans” this spring.

Send in your personal essays, short fiction, poetry, neighborhood
histories, heirloom recipes, song lyrics, tall tales and more.
Photography, painting, drawing, screen printing, and all forms of
two-dimensional visual art are invited.

Open to all ages and all levels. Enter as many times as you wish.

Hurry! Deadline is February 21, 2012

Thanks,

Ryan and Rachel

Also, this just jumped into my inbox:

We just wanted to share with you that we will be on TV promoting the Book
by Authors project.

The TV channels asked us to be prepared to share artwork and specific
stories so we have sent them several of your pieces. If they decide to
share any of them, we requested they credit you for your work.

Thank you for participating in this project and we hope they share your
work and help us get the word out about this project.
