Call for Submissions: Pickle Yolk Books

This October Pickle Yolk Books will be open to receiving submissions from authors. After publishing award winning picture books Pickle Yolk books.is now venturing into nonfiction. Biographies to be more precise! Editor of Pickle Yolk Books, Richa Jha, shares details on the kind of stuff she is expecting to see in her mailbox.

. 1.What's the word count you are looking for?

Ideal word count: under 600.

But otherwise, I will not be in a position to accept any submission with a word count exceeding 1000 words.

2. Would the biographies be based on Indian or International personalities? Living or dead?

Ideally, Indian/ living/ not already done to death (E.g.: Sachin Tendulkar or Dhoni).  But an inspiring name from the recent past is fine too (from early 1900s onwards).

3. What should authors keep in mind before mailing the submissions?

a) I'd love to see stories that highlight certain inspiring aspects of a person's personality, or inspiring episodes from the person's life rather than giving a complete life history from life to (where relevant) death.

b) But if details of the person's birth are important in the context of shaping them into what they went on to do/become, then, by all means, include that too.

c) Contemporary heroes (irrespective of the gender) from Indian states from different walks of life whose contributions need to be highlighted.

4.How many books will be part of the series?

5-6.

Note: Kindly mail your submissions only from October 2019.
