Un-white pages, with particular attention on that “un”, is the CALBONI’s way to pull out your story. It can be fictional, or based on a true story, or it can be also a good mix of both options. (Just, please, pay attention on not exceed the limit of 5.200 words!) We know that you have somenthing to tell. Humans tell histories from a long time. Since the day someone discovered that a cave wall could be a blank canvas. So, our proposal is: you send to us your unpublished and original story, or stories, by e-mail, to this address: calboni.ed@gmail.com Yes, we prefer unplubished stories, born from your fantasy, or reporting facts really happened but never told before. Please don’t fogret the limit of 5.200 words! And please, also, don’t forget to add a scan of a signed liberatory, by which you allow CALBONI edições to use your works without pretending from CALBONI edições any type of compensation. (We may also need the original hard copy of this document, so we ask you the courtesy to keep it carefully!) We will monitor our mail box until October 31, 2020, at 6:00pm Lisbon Time. Lisbon, in Portugal. After that, we will take some time to read all the works, so you need to be a bit patient. We will choose some stories, and, after a certain time (a month, we hope, ...or two), we will collect them in a one single book, published by CALBONI. The selected authors could receive a monetary gratification, which could be calculated based on the number of words of the published text. Before leaving the last recommendation, we want remind that CALBONI is trying to bring to light the creator kept inside of you.That’s why it’s appropriate to quote the great food critic, the french Anton Ego, when he says «Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere» (credits: Ratatouille, 2007, by Brad Bird). The last recommendation, regards the language: we expect to receive works in English, Italian and Portuguese. Happy writing, to everyone.
