Food First Books

Call for Manuscripts


Since its inception in 1975, Food First Books has been committed to a 
vigorous publishing program for social justice. Many of our books are 
considered classics, and have been well-reviewed in both the academic 
and general press. Some of our well-known titles include Food First: 
Beyond the Myth of Scarcity, World Hunger: Twelve Myths, and Basta! Land 
and the Zapatista Rebellion in Chiapas.

We are now reaching out for new authors and new manuscripts on the 
following subjects:

o our global food system
o alternative food systems
o hunger
o economic and social human rights
o economic globalization
o movements for social justice
o poverty in America and abroad
o rural development
o biodiversity, biopiracy, genetic engineering, patenting of life
o environmental justice
o etc.


Food First books are activist and/or college-oriented, well-researched 
and documented, written in an active voice, mobilizing, and committed to 
confronting pervasive myths about hunger, poverty, and environmental 
decline.  We can do something to build a better world and our readers 
want to know how.  Our authors are experts in their given fields of 
study and present their knowledge in forms that appeal to both the 
academic and the general reader.

At this time we are issuing a special call for completed manuscripts or 
full first drafts.  Authors should send us sample chapters, table of 
contents, curriculum vitae, and a cover letter describing the author's 
expertise, the purpose of the book, it's target audiences, and how it 
compares to similar titles on the market or coming out.

If you know colleagues who are finishing manuscripts that might be 
appropriate for Food First Books, please pass them this announcement.

We make very good books and support them with our marketing efforts and 
the help of our national distributor, LPC Group. For more information
