PHYLLIS HYMAN - THE STRENGTH OF A WOMAN

[Souledtrafford]

For a while now, I have been after a copy of the Phyllis Hyman biography - Strength of a Woman by Jason A Micheal, published in the States in 2007. There are odd copies floating around the States, but at hugely inflated prices and the sellers will only post in their own country. However, I was recently in touch with the author and he is keen to get the book re-published and would be more than happy to use a UK publisher this time around, as he feels (rightly so) that people on this side of the water appreciate artists like Phyllis a lot more than they do in the States. I don't think he fancies self publishing, so does anyone out there know any publishers who would be interested?

Great initiative, hope it succeeds. I don't know any publishers who would handle a title like this, but it might be worth asking David Nathan what he thinks - could even be time for Soulmusic.com to get into print publishing.

Cheers Mickey. Have done that.

Let us know how you get on.

I'd love to read it

Hopefully something can get done, as I am sure that it would be well received over here as well as being an interesting read. Will update whenever anything happens.

The reviews on Amazon.com are very positive. Seems the author knows his stuff and knows how to write. I have a hunch he was running a site dedicated to Phyllis already back in the mid-90s - the design of the book looks familiar.
