I self published a book recently, “Ruins of a Society and the Honorable.”

I have been finding it extremely difficult even to have a Literary Agent just look at my book. Here’s a little about the book and hope someone in the right position will do the right thing and reconsider.

“Ruins of a Society and the Honorable,” is an autobiography, a legacy and a story based on real life circumstances as I lived it and remember it to the best of my knowledge. It contains incidents which took place in one day and a half while at Sing Sing Prison, where I worked, and outside the prison’s environment.

It then sidetracks to speak of other stories, voice opinions and reflects on my life as a young Latino growing up in New York City Brooklyn and abroad. Although 75 percent of this book is based on prison experiences, other parts of this book relates to the many life encounters we’ve all experienced in our own lives in one form or another.

An interesting point about this book is, throughout this book the actual story stops with an asterisk, (*) to voice an opinion or explain a different set of circumstances; then it continues onto the actual story with the words. (STORY CONT)

My book received many good feedback’s and reviews from family members, friends and coworkers. Although I have not yet received any professional reviews from local newspapers or magazine publications, be advised of the following:

“Winner of the Literary Awards for 2009 Best Autobiography/Biography”
—Multicultural Literature Advocacy Group, Living in Color Literary Awards, March 20, 2010.

“Thank you for thinking of me”
—Sonia Sotomayor, United States Supreme Court Justice, February 23, 2010.

“A Prison Story/Autobiography like you have never read before”
—Michael Levine, WBAI 99.5 FM. Expert Witness Radio, March 22, 2010.

“Nominated as Finalist for the 12th Annual International Latino Book Awards”
—Jim Sullivan, Executive Director, May 28, 2010.

John,
Thanks so much for these recommendations. This week we´re starting a monthly feature of publishers and authors of bilingual children´s books and we´ll be sure to contact them.
Please feel free to leave us your store´s info either here or in the forums. If you leave it in the forums it will be of great use to our readers from the SoCal area. I for one am very interested!

I have a Latino Book Store in L.A. and I went to Book Expo America in New York last month and I noticed a couple of publishers not included here. The four publishers mentioned in the article are great. CBP best sellers include those by Francisco X. Alarcon and Juan Felipe Herrera. In addition to Pat Mora, Piñata Books also has fantastic titles by Victor Villaseñor, author of “Rain of Gold”. In addition to these and all the recommendations above, I was really impressed with what Raven Tree Press is coming out with. me+mi publishing is also a standard favorite for its bilingual board books and sideline items.

Usborne and Kane/Miller also publish some very nice Spanish books. I think you all should check out the books I’ll be making available for the “week of giveaways”.
I believe the “Latin Baby Book Club” has reviewed several Kane/Miller titles.
