E-Reads Wins Prize
By Calvin Reid -- Publishers Weekly, 4/29/2002
A novel turned down by conventional publishers and ultimately issued by E-Reads, the e-book operation run by agent Richard Curtis, won the Commonwealth Prize for best first book for the African region. The book, Ama: A Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade by Manu Herbstein, will now compete for best first book with titles from three other Commonwealth regions. Final judging will take place in Edinburgh next week.
