A press release from JoSara MeDia:

JoSara MeDia and Paul Levinson are pleased to announce the availability of the Kindle and ePub editions of Levinson’s first novel, The Silk Code, published by JoSara MeDia.

The Silk Code, originally published by Tor Books, won the Locus Award for best first novel of 1999, and reached #8 on the Locus paperback Best Seller list in February 2001. The novel received praise from The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, and reviews in dozens of other places.

Levinson is especially excited about this new edition because it is, as he calls it, an “author’s cut” of The Silk Code. “The Tor edition, like all books brought out by big publishers, went through extensive copy editing,” he explains. “In this new eBook edition, I reinstated a lot of my original wording, which I always liked better.” Levinson, who was President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America from 1998 to 2001, believes such author’s cuts are a major step forward in publishing. The Silk Code is not only available as a Kindle, but as an eBook on Barnes & Noble and all the digital outlets.

Levinson, a prolific author, has published four other science fiction novels, and seven non-fiction books, translated into 12 languages around the world. His latest, New New Media, has just come out in a second edition from Pearson. He appears often as a media commentator on PBS, NPR, MSNBC, and Fox News. The Silk Code Kindle edition sports a new cover, created especially for the novel by Joel Iskowitz, whose designs have appeared on stamps around the world, US coins, and NASA murals.

Levinson says he chose JoSara MeDia because he “wanted for The Silk Code a savvy, small publisher, unencumbered by baggage from the pre-digital age.” JoSara MeDia has published other award-winning authors in multiple formats, including print, eBook and enhanced eBooks in the form of iPad and Android applications. JoSara MeDia also works with non-profit organizations, such as the Texas State Historical Association, assisting them with strategies and solutions to get their content available in these multiple formats.
