Call for Excerpts
news item by sayb123
DJR writer: http://www.blog.sohaibmuneer.com

You may have noticed our Excerpts around and about DJR. They will be added to Book Pages, as well as featured here on the Daily News.

This is an official call for excerpts -- so transcribe your favorite ~100-500 words passages and submit them to us.

The best way is via our requests form -- see under our Contact section (link at the bottom of any given page). An excerpt is a great introduction to a book for the prospective reader. One note - no spoilers!
