By January 2010 Five Rivers had signed agreements with eight authors for 18 books. We’ve been very busy here at Five Rivers these past few months, editing, revising, proofing and designing. We’ve gone back and forth with our authors with edits and galleys.

The first of those 18 books, (re)Discover the Joy of Creative Writing, by Paul Lima, released May 1, 2010. This is the second in the ‘Workshop in a book’ series, the first being How to Write a Non-fiction Book in 60 Days, which has consistently sat in the top 10 at Amazon.uk since the fall of 2009.

June 1, 2010 we’re pleased to announce two more books are slated for release: Harness the Business Writing Process, one of the ‘Workshop in a book’ series by Paul Lima, and Motivate to Create: a guide for writers, by Nate Hendley.

All three books are, and will be, available through all major online booksellers globally in both print and digital formats.

Next in production are Alicia Hendley’s debut novel, A Subtle Thing, and Nate Hendley’s Al Capone, Chicago’s King of Crime and Crystal Death: North America’s #1 Killer Drug. Both books are expected to be ready for release in the early summer, 2010.
