Oval Books welcomes approaches from knowledgeable writers on subjects suitable for the Bluffer's® Guides series or those qualified to write about a nation's people not yet covered by the Xenophobe's® Guides series (see web site), kindly note Oval Books is currently seeking authors for:

The Bluffer's® Guides:

The Xenophobe's® Guides: The Finns and The Norwegians.

Both series are written to a tight brief and anyone wishing to propose themselves should make contact with Oval Books stating their own suitability for their chosen subject. Oval Books will then, where appropriate, send out the terms, guidelines and author's brief for a trial sample to be submitted.
