Harvardwood is proud to announce the re-launch of the Harvardwood Books program this November!

Through various partnerships, Harvardwood Books will provide an avenue for members to have their books, screenplays (in novel form), and short stories published, as well as provide a resource for top quality books and short stories written by Harvard and Harvard-affiliated authors.

Come and learn more about publishing opportunities available through Harvardwood Books at launch events around the country!  Each launch event will feature readings from the authors of ABOVE GROUND, a diverse, globe-trotting anthology of short fiction.  The stories and novel excerpts in ABOVE GROUND are what the publisher, Harvard Square Editions (a partner of Harvardwood Books) calls "living fiction," work by contemporary authors seeking to stimulate a literary dialogue.
