Indy Pub Book Awards Announced


The 2007 Independent Publisher Book Awards have been announced, and my friend Sal Glynn is among them with a Gold award for his book "The Dog Walked Down the Street: An Outspoken Guide for Writers Who Want to Publish." Glynn topped the Writing/Publishing category.

Also on the list of Gold winners was Dave Eggers, of San Francisco, who topped the General Fiction category with his book What Is the What, a fictionalized memoir. Eggers' first book was "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius." He is also the founder of McSweeney's, a publishing house that publishes everything from debut fiction (yes, they're seeking submissions) to the work of established authors, including Michael Chabon, Stephen King, and Joyce Carol Oates.
