Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram literary map of Maine.

The purpose of a Maine Literary Map is to promote books with Maine settings -- both fiction and nonfiction, children's and adult. The idea for the map began with librarians in southern Maine who hope that residents and visitors will be encouraged to learn more through reading these works, and to visit specific sites listed on the map. The tone of the map is meant to be light-hearted and fun!

To learn more, read Editor Jeannine Guttman's recent column:
Putting Maine – real and not so – on a literary map [May 11, 2008]

Deadline for submissions is June 8.
