República Update's very own Juleyka Lantigua has taken on the role of book scout for the Senior Editor, Multicultural Studies at Praeger Publishers (home to Greenwood Press and others).

She is looking for books in these and similar/related categories:

• Latino students' guide to college

• Pop culture titles

• Social and political issues titles 

• Practical and "feel-good" books 

• Biographies of Black, Latino, Asian and other folks of note

• Anthologies of essays, commentary, fiction

• Topical dissertations that can be turned into non-fiction titles

Please send this email to your writer/author friends who have book projects or ideas or who are ready to be matched with an idea they can develop into a book.

Make sure to visit the website below and download the current multicultural catalog so you get a sense of what books they're publishing along these lines BEFORE you email juleykalantigua at gmail.com.
