Book bloggers take a lot of time crafting their reviews after reading books, and in some cases, they go beyond reviews and touch upon social media and other issues.

Kyle Semmel of The Writer’s Center in Bethesda, Md., wanted to express his thoughts on book bloggers and offer those in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia area a chance to become a member of the center for one full year.

Also, for those not in the area, there is one full-year subscription to The Writer’s Center‘s magazine, Poet Lore, (which turns 120 years old this year) available to bloggers anywhere in the world.

With decreased coverage of books—especially those by emerging authors—in mass media like newspaper and radio, what used to be a driving force for literature, book bloggers have a special role to fill in today’s literary marketplace: they bring quality authors to the reading public’s attention, authors who may be overlooked elsewhere.

For those interested in the membership for one-year, please leave a comment on this post by Sept. 20, 2009, 11:59PM EST.

For those interested in the year’s subscription to Poet Lore, please leave a comment on this post by Sept. 20, 2009, 11:59PM EST.

Sadly, I’m not close enough, but I’d love to toss my name in for the Poet Lore subscription.  Thanks so much for your support of book bloggers!

Would love a subscription! Thanks

I’m also not close enough (I live in Canada), but I’d also love to win a subscription to Poet Lore. Thanks for this giveaway!

I’d be interested in membership. I took a brillaint course at The Writers Center on journal keeping, they do great work.

I’d like to try for the subscription since I am already a member of the center.

What a great offer! I don’t live close enough for the membership, but would love a chance at the subscription. Thanks!

I’d love a chance to win the Poet’s Lore subscription.  I don’t read nearly enough contemporary poetry.

I do not like close enough to take advantage of a year membership, but I would be interested in a subscription of the Writer’s Center.  Thank you.
