Leah Baxter, Assistant Editor for the Library of Arabic Literature Series, is looking for pitches:
Send us a pitch!
We’re looking for writers who are enthusiastic about Arabic literature to contribute to the Library of Arabic Literature blog. We welcome ideas for posts on a variety of topics.
Previous blog posts have included reflections on how LAL books fit with a broader theme, such as the Global Middle Ages or disability studies, as well as surprising comparisons (e.g. ‘Antarah and Cardi B). Blog posts should be 800-1200 words long, written in English, and must feature at least one LAL book, preferably (but not necessarily) one published within the last two years. We offer an honorarium of $400 for each post.
Please email your pitch and a short bio to leah.baxter@nyu.edu, and include the phrase “LAL Blog Pitch” in the subject line of your email. We will stop accepting pitches on January 31.
