Exploring Rock Music through Stories of Fact and Fiction |
Call for Submissions Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Well, I have... Jimi Hendrix Book editors seek stories (approx. 8-20 pages; 2000 to 5,000 words) on real-world band experiences written by or about rock musicians, their fans, and people in the industry. We welcome stories that detail the highs and lows, the perils and pitfalls of life in rock. Fiction narratives that express such sentiment are also encouraged. Behind every band, there’s a story to tell—a gig gone wrong, equipment failures, a van that dies in the desert, a drunken drummer that must be tied to his stool. And some of the most compelling stories involve those where musicians get their rare shot at success only to have fate throw its devastating curve ball at the most inopportune time. Whether you’re a musician, music journalist, industry insider or fan, if you have such a story we’d like to read it. While we seek fine prose, we are more interested in great stories than in great writing. Of course, we’d like both :) Manuscripts should be double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font, single-sided pages only. Include SASE for response only. All manuscripts submitted by March 31, 2007 will be considered. We may not be able to respond until late April, but feel free to query at any time. Contributors will receive three copies of the book upon publication and the opportunity to have their stories read worldwide. Submit Send manuscripts for consideration (or queries) as Word or RTF attachments by email to Roland Goity at: rockstories@sbcglobal.net Snail mail OK, too:
