The Foreign Service Journal welcomes book submissions for “In Their Own Write,” our popular November-December FSJ feature highlighting the literary talent of the Foreign Service community. We want to share your works of fiction and nonfiction, biography, poetry, memoir, and more, in time for holiday shopping. To be featured, your book must have been published between July 1, 2024, and September 1, 2025, and be available for purchase by September 1, 2025. It must not have been included in a previous FSJ collection. Current and former members of the Foreign Service and their immediate family members are eligible to submit a book. We are relying on you, the author, to share information about your book. We will craft your ITOW entry based on your responses to these questions: 1. What is the full title of your book? 2. Who is your publisher, and what is the publication date? 3. What is the list price for your book (hardcover and/or paperback), and is an e-book version available? 4. What is the genre and/or bookstore category? (Choose one: fiction, memoir, history/biography, policy/issues, other.) 5. Who is the primary audience? 6. In 150-200 words, what is your book about? 7. Where can readers purchase your book online? (Please provide the active URL.) 8. Provide a 50-word bio including your position in or connection to the Foreign Service. Please include your agency aliation, years in the FS, and postings. If you’re active duty, please include your current posting, agency, and position.

If you authored multiple books last year, we will feature one book—let us know your preference—and list the other titles in your bio note. Please send us a copy of the book (either in print or, preferably, digital format) along with answers to the above (required) by Friday, August 22.
