Independent publishing!

Writer John Zussman shared the following about Charles Degelman's new novel, Gates of Eden. Independent publishing alive and well! From John... Charlie is a friend from my Harvard writers group. I'm well into his book and he deftly captures the feel of the Sixties. Harvard Square Editions is the group's own imprint -- a way of taking publishing back into our own hands. Friends! I'm proud to announce that Charles Degelman’s 60’s anti-war novel GATES OF EDEN just won a Silver Medal from the Independent Publishers Book Awards  http://www.independentpublisher.com/article.php?page=1534 ...the award ceremony is later this month in NY. Published by Harvard Square Editions, GATES OF EDEN will make its debut August 1.  For more information on GATES OF EDEN and Harvard Square Editions, visit the author website at www.charlesdegelman.org and Harvard Square Editions at www.harvardsquareeditions.org and... Please blast this announcement to your friends! Now's the time. New fissures in media empires bring hope that independent voices will be heard.  Let's do it! Charlie will lead a panel discussion, using GATES OF EDEN as a centerpiece at a veterans' writers conference at UMass Boston on Thursday, June 28 from 2 - 4 p.m...  Special Panel: The Antiwar Movement: Then and Now Set against the turmoil of the Vietnam War, Charles Degelman's novel GATES OF EDEN is a 1960s tale of rebellion, resistance and love. As actor Peter Coyote notes, the book "is no sentimental apologia for the Sixties. It is the real deal." The author will lead a discussion attempting to understand the key differences and similarities between the antiwar movement of the 1960s and those millions of young people today who feel the impact of foreign wars, a stolen economy, and the spirit of the Occupy movement.
