A book about Iraqi family blogs

Sunday, October 01, 2006
We're trying to gather all the family blogs in a book. This idea was proposed to my uncle by a reader, and we're now trying to make it a reality.

Uncle Ahmed already found a publisher, what we do not have (yet really need) is an editor, someone who can put everything together, who can choose the posts that are suitable to be put in a book.. Is there anyone among you who can do that? Or who knows someone who can do that?
If yes, please e-mail me.

Aunt Najma: I'm sorry that I cannot help with the book, due to my lack of knowledge in this type of work. I do agree with your uncle Ahmed. We haven't heard from him since March 2005. Wish he could do some posts. I also hope that you can find someone who will assist in the book he recommends. That would be wonderful.

Stay safe and keep up the wonderful work.

Why don't you contact the people at the New York Times. They published your work so they must be interested. They would know who to contact. Good luck.

I wish you and your family good luck with this book project! I thought that all book publishers have editors who work for them? Maybe you need to find not just an editor, but an author who is willing to lend his or her skill at story telling to the project.

Anonymous idea sounds good. You might also try asking Zeyad to look around his school or New York City for someone who could help you out.

Does anyone know how I can sponsor an young Iraqi family, a family with small children, to get out of there and come to Canada to start a new life?

I visited a very interesting site, they have a vast collection of books which have been categories and are presented to viewers in an easy-to-search format. You should check it out.
