A new chapter in cross-cultural literary exchange brings together poets, novelists, and authors through books published in English and Italian.
Italian editors, authors, and publishers Gioia Lomasti and Emanuele Marcuccio are preparing the second volume of their international publishing project, 100 Books, 100 Authors, an initiative designed to showcase literary voices from different countries and foster connections among writers across cultures and continents.
For its second edition, the project invites poets, novelists, and other authors to submit their books published in English or Italian for consideration. The initiative offers participating writers an opportunity to introduce their literary works to a wider international audience and contribute to a growing dialogue among contemporary literary communities.
Dr. Ashraf Aboul-Yazid, Editor and International Literary Coordinator, will coordinate and edit submissions from authors based outside Italy, helping facilitate the participation of writers from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
Authors interested in participating are invited to prepare three materials for consideration:
- Book Cover: A clear image of the front cover only.
- Book Description: A presentation of the book in no more than 500 words.
- Author Biography: A literary biography of approximately 200 words, written as a narrative paragraph.
These materials will provide the editorial team with an introduction to each book and its author as submissions are considered for the forthcoming volume.
100 Books, 100 Authors – Volume II seeks to encourage literary discovery and international cooperation by bringing together authors whose works reflect the richness and diversity of contemporary writing. By creating opportunities for books to reach readers beyond their countries of origin, the project underscores the importance of literature as a meeting place for languages, cultures, ideas, and human experiences.
Writers from all parts of the world are warmly invited to express their interest and submit the required materials through Dr. Ashraf Aboul-Yazid.

With its second volume, 100 Books, 100 Authors continues its commitment to international literary exchange, offering writers an opportunity to share their creative journeys and build lasting connections across geographical and linguistic boundaries.
Through literature, translation, and the written word, every book can become a bridge between cultures.
