Cycling Book Seeks Submissions
Following the success of the critically acclaimed SURFING’S GREATEST MISADVENTURES: DROPPING IN ON THE UNEXPEXTED (recently well reviewed by the L.A. Times), Casagrande Press is pursuing submissions for the forthcoming title CYCLING’S GREATEST MISADVENTURES.
CYCLING’S GREATEST MISADVENTURES—STORY SUBMISSION INFORMATION
General Guidelines
Casagrande Press is seeking submissions for the forthcoming book Cycling’s Greatest Misadventures. The press is looking for quality nonfiction stories about cycling mishaps, disasters, deaths, comical pranks, crashes, bad judgment calls, misfortune, contest meltdowns, strange injuries, loss of wit, critical conditions, bike trips gone wrong or “non-riding episodes” that surround or embody the cycling experience. The editor seeks well-written stories that tell a good tale, reflect a culture, and develop the depth of the characters involved. Open to writers and riders of any level and discipline.
What kind of cycling?
The publishers will take stories that involve riding any kind of bicycle including: road bikes, mountain bikes, BMX bikes, beach cruisers, stationary/training bikes, unicycles, etc.
Payment
Writers will be paid upon publication, if their story is selected for publication. The press will pay on a per word basis for previously published stories and more for stories that have not previously been published. Writers will retain copyright and ownership of published stories.
