SPOTLIGHT: PROFILE YOUR FELLOW WRITERS! Seeking submissions…

As an ongoing writing project, you are invited to interview and profile each other for publication in the WBA newsletter & blog as a way of getting to know each other and getting our names and our work out there! Profiles will be published on a rolling basis, up to 1 or 2 bi-weekly.

You can profile a friend or use this as an opportunity to get to know someone new!
*What you get as the writer: A byline and clip of your writing published on our site
*What you get as the interviewee: A spotlight and publicity for your work
To solicit an interview, you can:
-Come to one of the Writers in BA meet-ups and find someone there
-Peruse the writers' sites listed on the Writers in BA blog for something that strikes your interest
-Put a call out on the google group as a willing interviewer or interviewee (writersinba@googlegroups.com)
-Find someone who isn't yet in Writers in BA, but perhaps should be...

GUIDELINES
-Limit 500 words
-Please keep it up to your best writing standards and edit carefully!
-Please provide the contact info of the person being profiled if they are not already in WBA so the final profile can be cleared with them for accuracy.
-Provide a link to the profilee's website if relevant (and yours, too!)
-Provide a photo if possible (an original one that you have the right to distribute legally, please)
-The person being profiled does not need to be a published author, or even necessarily a writer; they could be an editor, literary translator, or something of the sort.
-The person being profiled does not need to be a continual resident in Argentina if their work or time spent here is relevant.
Send submissions to: writersinba@gmail.com
