FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Cleveland Clinic
Press
Welcomes Proposals and Manuscripts
(Cleveland, OH,
April, 2005) Lawrence D. Chilnick, editorial director of
the newly launched Cleveland Clinic Press, reports that “the
CCP is on a search for strong narrative stories in the health
and science fields and biographies of medical giants or heroes
who have helped shape our nation’s health care into one of the
best in the world.
“We already have a
fascinating bio of Jonas Salk scheduled for this fall, which
takes an intimate look at the years after the polio vaccine
during the time when Salk was a controversial figure in many
scientific areas. For example, few people know that Salk was
involved in early work on HIV virus testing.
“Another example
of our unique list includes an upcoming book, The Hero With
A Thousand Faces: Real Stories of People With Facial
Deformities and Their Quest For Acceptance. We also have a
major book coming, Curious Cases From The Files of The
Cleveland Clinic, which fans of Oliver Sacks and Berton
Roueché will embrace. Both of these come from inside our own
institution.
“In addition to
narrative non-fiction, we are looking for books that approach
common subjects in new ways. For example, we will publish this
spring Lee Edwards Benning’s definitive guide to child care in
this age of working parents: The Granny-Nanny: A Guide For
Parents and Grandparents Who Share Childcare.
“I encourage
agents and editors with projects in the health, medicine,
cookbook and exercise fields to contact me directly. I am open
to talking with agents, editors, and authors and exploring as
many projects as we can find.”
