GRAND PRIZE SHORTLIST
Exciting news forWings and Wounds! Book One of The Dragon Doc Tales is shortlisted for the Eric Hoffer Literary Award Grand Prize! This is an amazing honor, as less than 5% of the entrants for this prestigious award make it to the short list.
About the Eric Hoffer Literary Award (from the Eric Hoffer Award website):
“The Eric Hoffer Book Award honors the memory of the great American philosopher Eric Hoffer by highlighting salient writing, as well as the independent spirit of small publishers. Since its inception, the Hoffer has become one of the largest international book awards for small, academic, and independent presses.”
“The “Hoffer” honored books are from small, academic, and micro presses, including self-published offerings. Throughout the centuries, writers such as Emily Dickinson, James Joyce, Walt Whitman, and Virginia Woolf have taken the path of self-publishing, rather than have their ideas forced into a corporate or sociopolitical mold. Today, small and academic presses struggle in this same environment. The Hoffer will continue to be a platform for and the champion of the independent voice. Winners of the Hoffer are given prizes, honors, and worldwide media exposure, as well as being covered in the US Review of Books.”
I anticipate the final award announcement mid-May. In other words, very soon!
