Some lovely bloggers have come up with a great idea.
Peach from Peach, Sarah from He Loves Me Not, Ariel from From Fuck Up To Fab, Ms R from Woman of Experience and Vi from Village Secrets) are putting together a book for WARCHILD written by bloggers. They would like you to submit a written piece about something you’ve been through from any aspect of your life that you want to share, to bloggersforcharity@yahoo.co.uk
It can literally be about anything: your relationships, your past, a road not taken, being a parent, an illness or your regrets etc. They’ve called it “You’re Not The Only One” to reflect the camaraderie of blogging.
There are a few simple rules, and these are as follows:
- You must be a blogger with a live blog.
- It must be about something you’ve been through, amusing or serious or any style you like.
- You can submit in your blogname and remain anonymous, or not, up to you.
- It can’t be something previously published outside the blogworld, but anything from your blog, or something entirely new, is fine.
- Try to keep below 1500 words.
- You must pimp the book on your site and buy it if you make a submission to be in it!
- DEADLINE IS 29th FEBRUARY 2008 for submissions.
- Send your submissions to bloggersforcharity@yahoo.co.uk
Proceeds will go to WARCHILD and the book will be published through http://www.lulu.com/. This is a no upfront fee internet publishing site who will take £4.70 per book sold if it is no longer than 200 pages. The book is to be priced at £9 so £4.30 will go to straight to the charity.
For further details, the original post can be found here.
Given that the bestseller list is currently packed out with misery memoirs, I'm hoping you're all going to buck the trend by submitting something very amusing indeed.
Consider the book well and truly pimped...
