(Rap Newswire) EveryDay Life by MG Hardie is a journey from hopelessness
to hope. It is a raw, intensely humorous, personal and inspiring look at
the journey of a young African-American man who against the odds and his
environment decides to change his life for the better. The Reader Views
annual awards were established to honor writers who self-published or had
their books published by a small press, university press, or independent
book publisher and is one of the largest annual awards for small press
books. The complete list of winners http://readerviews.com/Awards2008Winners.html
“Our Annual Literary Awards recognize the very best of these up-and-coming
authors, all talented writers who we know have very promising writing careers
ahead of them,” Reader Views Managing Editor Irene Watson says “All of
the book that have made the list deserve a good look from the big publishing
houses.”
The Reader Views Annual Literary Awards are granted in fiction and nonfiction
categories. The entries are first read and judged by Reader Views reviewers,
all avid readers with a wide range of experiences, considered experts in
their respective fields. A a second line of judges make the final decision.
“It is an honor to even be on the list,” said Hardie. “And to be second
out of over 2,000 books is quite an accomplishment.” Earlier this year
EveryDay Life was named The Best Kept Literary Secret of 2008. Aside from
great reviews MG Hardie’s work has been compared to that of Tyler Perry’s
and Lorraine Hansberry’s.
About “EveryDay Life”
In a neighborhood dominated by gangs, drugs, alcohol, guns and self-created
obstacles there are no guarantees, especially when it comes to making it
out alive. EveryDay Life relays powerful messages about life, death and
all things in-between in America’s urban ghettos and forces people to look
at issues that are all too easy to ignore from urban sprawl, race relations
to sex and politics. It is a terribly smart work of literature that that
holds no punches while delivering an extremely humorous story all within
an Hip Hop backdrop. EveryDay Life is far from just a story about a selected
African American community in Los Angeles, it’s about all of us and what
we choose as our life.
“EveryDay Life” 978-1605940366, Llumina Press, 2008 may be purchased
