Our readers

The sort of people who might well be interested but just don't know about you.
Whilst we do have members who are e.g. members of TSF, EFDSS, etc, and know all about what you do ...
... many readers are not in any sort of organisation, and most also will not have academic library access.
This does not mean they are not interested !!

Accordingly, contributions do not have to be original - they could be cut and pasted from your existing web article(s).
If you look at the Index: ISSUES on this site, the Folklife Traditions pages within Folklife West magazine, - an index of all FT issues, which gives a flavour of what we do - links to all FT issues in e-mag format.  
Publicising your books.
We are unlikely to have time for reviews.
Instead, you are welcome to send in a synopsis, up to 200 words,
more if advertising: 1/16 250 words;  1/8 275;  1/4 300;  1/2 350;  A4 450 words.
Word limits are for the text, we do not count book title & details of price, publishers, ISBN
Word limits may be exceeeded if we think the material particularly relevant to our readers.
Book cover image (jpeg/.jpg) is also welcome.

Sample full-page article;  note about using Word footnotes;  advertising details -  see Contact & Contribute webpage
