How will we help bring more YA to Egypt ?
We’re…
Authors:
Egyptian authors looking forward to seeing more people read. We write,
we get our words heard. Some of us published, some still on the road.
Agents:
Helping new authors take their first steps towards getting their YA
books published. “Agenting” is non-existent in Egypt , which resulted in a huge gap
between publishers who don’t want to take risks with new authors, and authors
who want their rights to be protected while on a journey they’re not familiar
with its full dimensions.
How? By filtering submissions, helping our authors edit and transform
their book to its final, publishable image and then connecting them to the
publisher.
Condition? Writings must be YA.
Publishers:
A few of our stories as a group of YA authors and some of the
submissions will be available online as e-books, introducing more people to YA
through social media that has taken a great part of everyone’s daily life, no
matter their social class or education.
Readers:
With the opportunity of reading foreign YA books and the few already in
the Egyptian market. We find it amazing and simply the key to making the
society read more and raising the upcoming generations to love reading and
adore the written word. We’re ready to put time and effort into introducing
this type of books to other readers, and to people reluctant to start reading –
most young adults. In this tech-savvy generation, it’s hard to introduce a
regular book to young adults except if it’s grabbing and relate-able. In other
words, a YA book.
Right now, we’re seeking readers and more people with experience
– even if slight – in the writing and publishing fields, especially in Egypt . Register
now, make this dream come true.
SOON: Our schedule will be announced soon!
