Meet the Author

Call for Submissions

47th Annual ISNA Convention
Rosemont, IL
July 2-5, 2010

In an effort to encourage a culture of human interaction and understanding, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) hosts a special Meet the Author program at the ISNA Annual Convention.  Meet the Author is an interactive session which provides a wonderful platform to learn, share ideas, and provide literary contributions to society. Participants will have an opportunity to meet and discuss ideas with authors, writers, artists, & others who have made significant contributions in various areas.  These sessions also provide opportunities for book signing and sales by the authors.

Please keep the following points in mind as you submit your book for consideration:

• Only English language books by American authors are accepted
• Books must be over a 100 pages long except for children’s books
• Books must be perfect-bound, not spiral bound
• Books must be published in the USA even if they are printed elsewhere
• Three copies of each book, submitted for consideration, will NOT be returned whether the book is accepted or not.
  

ISNA is sure that this will be an enlightening and lasting experience for all participants.  If you have a publication that you would like to submit for consideration, please let us know.

All authors and publications will reviewed by a selection committee.  Once final decisions are made, authors will be contacted and offered complimentary registration and an opportunity to sell their books at the ISNA Convention.  Each author may sell his or her book at the conclusion of the session at a table located in the room where the presentation is held.

ISNA reserves the right to decline submissions for any reason.
