Snowbooks provides 'showcase' for authors

14.08.07 Tom Tivnan

Snowbooks is calling on new and unpublished writers to submit work to its blog as a showcase to agents and publishers. The writers' 'Snowcase' was launched on 11th August and Snowbooks has already blogged three submissions.

Submissions can be up to 500 words of a book or short story and must be accompanied by the author's name and a valid email address.

Emma Barnes, Snowbooks m.d., said: "I was a little nervous, because I was expecting a lot of dross. But so far I've been very pleased with the stories. We get about 50 print manuscripts a week. Of them, about ten percent are terrible, a few really sing and the rest are perfectly publishable. As a small publisher, we can't publish them all, but I thought this was a great way to use our blog to support writers and let others see their work." Barnes said the Snowcase will last "forever or until I get sick of it."
