Stepping Off the Edge by Sandy Nathan
The 2007 awards for competitions for the best books published by independent presses have been announced. Thousands of presses and books are entered in each competition. They’re so big, that being a finalist counts as a win, just like being nominated for an Academy Award is considered an award.
We at Vilasa Press are jumping for joy! Our two titles are cleaning up:
Stepping Off the Edge: Learning & Living Spiritual Practice is the winner of SIX NATIONAL AWARDS!
- 2007 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AWARD in New Age/Spirituality. Being a finalist means Stepping is in the top THREE books nationally in the New Age/Spirituality category.
- 2007 IPPYS (THE INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER AWARDS) Won a Bronze Medal in the Self Help category.
- The National Indie Excellence 2007 Book Awards. Stepping was a finalist in three categories:
o Autobiography/Memoir (First Runner Up)
o New Age Non Fiction (First Runner Up)
o Spirituality
Stepping Off the Edge is Vilasa Press’ first title, and we’re pleased as punch! The work, fanatic attention to detail and insistence on excellence are paying off. Not to mention the literary skill of author, Sandy Nathan.
NUMENON, our second book and the first book of THE BLOODSONG SERIES, HAS WON TWO NATIONAL AWARDS AS AN ADVANCE REVIEW COPY (GALLEY)
NUMENON will be officially released in early 2008, and it’s already a National Award Winner! Watch Amazon and this web site for the gala BOOK RELEASE CELEBRATION! Click on one of the Numenon links and take a peek at its web site. Find out why readers are going wild over this book.
