Another Big Day for Me!
 

Some of you might remember that back in May I posted a similar thread upon completing my Master's thesis and earning my M.A... well, this is even more exciting for me: my thesis (or a punched-up version of it, at least) has been accepted by Cambridge Scholars Press. I was offered a decent contract this morning.

The book, Our Orwell, Right or Left, which takes a look at how Orwell's writing has been misused by politicians and political writers at both ends of the spectrum over the years, (hopefully) will be out by late 2008...

Please post a link when this is available for purchase.

Congrats! :)

Excellent! Congratulations!

Anyone who had their 'blood and tears' published knows how much work lies behind such a success. Few things as rewarding as being published. Well done!

Wow! Congratulations! That's really something.

Excellent. Congratulations.

Damn, I miss the additional smileys! anyway, congratulations...and imagine the celebratory smileys, okay?

(edit) George Orwell was an optimist

Congrats CJ!!

Bully for you CJ!

Sounds like an interesting read - put me down for a copy too.

Thus ending the common assumption that all Sox fans are uneducated miscreants. ;)(This comes from a Raider fan.)

That's awesome! Be sure to post where we can buy it! Sounds like a very interesting read.

Congratulations! Quite an achievement. Our glasses are raised to ya!

Well Done! No time to celebrate though, time to get to work on the next one!!! Let me know if you need a literary agent. I’ll represent you for a great rate.

Congratulations... thats for yesterday, Now, what are you gona do for us today..

THank you for the kind words, everyone. I will post here when the book is available for preorder on amazon.com. Knowing how slow the publishing world is, this might not be for awhile... but I will keep you all posted.

--great work. That money ought to pay for the Varitek tattoo you're getting, right?

Super cool!
