LOCAL BOOKS LISTINGS/PROFILES
LOOKING FOR NEW BOOKS
We are looking for new books published in the last 12 months by New Mexico authors or New Mexico publishers to feature in upcoming book profiles in The Alibi Magazine and Prime Time Magazine. If you have a book that has been published in the last 12 months (since January 2007) and it has been been submitted before please send us a cover image (300 dpi jpeg, 5x6 inches), title, author name, publisher, hard or softcover, price, and a max 50-word description of the book — any entries for books outside the required pub date, with a description over 50 words, or with cover images not as 300 dpi jpegs (5x6) will not be considered for inclusion. The book listings have a maximum of 5 books, so the first five books that fit the listing themes will be accepted. Books for consideration must be received no later than Friday, March 7, 2008. Send all submissions by email only to info@nmbookcoop.com
