April 23, 2007 (Press Release) --
Each year, The Eric Hoffer Book Award (formerly The Writers’ Notes Book Award) seeks excellence in independent publishing. Entries come from academic, small, and micro presses, as well as self-published authors.
“We are very excited about using our international award program to honor the memory of one of America’s greatest freethinkers,” Christopher Klim said from his New Jersey office. “The Hoffer estate gave us their full blessing.”
Klim is the senior editor of Writers’ Notes, the international free resource tool at www.WritersNotes.com that facilitates the annual Hoffer Award. He is also the praised author of several novels (Jesus Lives in Trenton, The Winners Circle, etc.). His upcoming novel, Idiot!
