As an author with a new book, I want to submit content to The Brevity Blog. What specific type of submission related to a new book is acceptable, what is the required first step before submitting, and what two visual assets should I include?
Navigate to the 'Blog Submission Guidelines' page. Locate the section discussing submissions related to recently published or forthcoming books. Identify the acceptable type of book-related submission. Determine the required initial step for this type of submission. Identify the two visual assets specifically requested for these submissions. Synthesize this information into a concise answer.
State that the acceptable submission type is 'craft-focused interviews with authors about their book/process, or author-submitted examinations of writing or publishing issues that intersect with the recently published or forthcoming book'. State that the initial step is to 'query first'. State that the two visual assets to include are 'the book cover as well as the book author’s headshot'.
