Chronicle Books Kicks Off Great Tumblr Book Search

By Dianna Dilworth 

Chronicle Books and Tumblr have teamed up for their third annual book search contest. The Great Tumblr Book Search Contest is looking for Tumblr blogs that could potentially be turned into books.

This year, Chronicle has expanded the scope of the contest and is not only looking for humor titles but is also accepting books on art and food & drink. The contest will award 3 grand prize winners from each category. Winners will get a review session with a Chronicle Books editor, $300 worth of Chronicle books, as well as the chance to be published. Submissions close on March 2nd.

Rather than submit a book proposal, bloggers are encouraged to submit their Tumblr pages to the contest. Past winner include: Sh*t Rough Drafts, which was published spring 2014, and Droll Pranks for Rich Boys, which comes out this fall.
