History, people, fables and critical essays on the 24/7 life of the French Quarter. "Those who live somewhere should be allowed to decide how a place should exist; it should not be determined by how it can be sold." (Grace Lee Boggs) “The great music of the city is not Louis Armstrong; it’s when you say good morning and good evening.” (Mr. Jerome Smith)
Crescent City Books is pleased to announce our new imprint, CCB. We (with sister store Commonwealth Books) have published a decade’s worth of acclaimed international poetry. We’re now venturing into prose, specifically that set in New Orleans. Not “Southern lit” or folky fiction, but the dual lens of a microscope on New Orleans and a telescope on the rest of the world. We’re looking for fresh style and voice.
Completed novels (again, only those set in New Orleans) may be submitted to ccbsubmissions@gmail.com Body of email should include query/brief bio/1st chapter. Word file or PDF of entire novel should be attached.
Good to know! Thank you!
Any idea if there is a deadline? I am very interested in this!!
From CCB: “No deadline, but we’re only going to be publishing a few books a year, so…”
Good to know! Thank you!
