Are You Chelsea Green’s Next Author?

We’re a little late reporting this, so there’s not a whole lot of time left, but Chelsea Green has an awesome contest going right now that could be a big opportunity for the right person. All you have to do is submit a book proposal for their Green Guide Series, and you have a chance of winning $1,000 and a publishing contract with Chelsea Green.

From Chelsea Green:

Our Green Guide series is a collection of big ideas in small packages. Current guides convey the basics you need to know to confidently get started composting, biking to work, greening your office, lowering your energy footprint, recycling to the max, and conserving water. And they convey it all in a small, 92ish-page format. In fact, our guides are small enough to travel in pockets, concise enough to make green practices seem as easy as they are, and useful enough to help their readers actually change they way they live and work.

So, about that contest.

Write to us, tell us about a Green Guide you would like to research and write, why you’d like to write it, how it should be illustrated, and a bit about yourself. If you’re one of up to five winners we’ll offer you a publishing contract that includes an advance of $1,000 against royalties.

Check out the contest guidelines here. The deadline for entries is July 4th, 2008.
