WNIJ is issuing a call to authors for our first-ever Winter Book Series. We're looking for writers from northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin who've recently published novels, short story collections, poetry collections, memoirs, and academic works that could interest a general audience. We expect many of these books will be published by independent presses or university presses, but we will consider self-published works that have been professionally edited. Submissions will be accepted through October 5. After that, we'll invite four authors to the WNIJ studios to discuss their books with Morning Edition host Dan Klefstad. The interviews will air Fridays in December. Send paperback versions to our studios at 801 N. 1st St., DeKalb, IL 60115. E-books can be sent to dklefstad@niu.edu.
We look forward to reading your work. Thanks and good luck!
