Publishing company picks up local author's book

PublishAmerica is proud to announce that it has acquired the rights to publish "The Violet Eyes of Jesse Knight," by Glendive's Laurlee Harbig.

Executive director Miranda Prather expressed confidence today that Harbig's book will quickly resonate with an audience. "The Violet Eyes of Jesse Knight is a well written and crafted work of contemporary fiction that fits our speciality like a glove. PublishAmerica primarily publishes works by, for or about people who face a challenge in life, and who overcome it by turning stumbling blocks into stepping stones. We believe that Ms. Harbig is a promising talent in this field," he said.

Most of PublishAmerica's books are written by new and previously undiscovered talent, such as Glendive's newly discovered author. A traditional publishing company, PublishAmerica pays advances and royalties while offering a distinct alternative to authors who would most likely be overlooked by larger, more commercial publishers simply due to their lack of experience in the industry. More details about the book and author will soon appear at www.publishamerica.com .

When released, the book will be available through all local bookstores as a trade paperback.
