Writers have been joining Occupy Wall Street since the movement began in September, so books are soon to follow. OR Books has the first book on the movement slated for a December release called Occupying Wall Street: The Inside Story of an Action that Changed the Course of America.
The work will be written collectively by a group called Writers for the 99%. It will detail how the movement got started and include interviews with occupation participants. OR will publish a 200-page paperback as well as an eBook edition. It comes out on December 17th–the three month anniversary of the movement. All of the profits will be donated to Occupy Wall Street.
It will also focus on the everyday activity in the occupied Zuccotti Park. It will include details about how the occupation works. including the general assembly, the kitchen, the medical center, the library and media center.
Colin Robinson, the co-founder of OR Books, will be one of the panelists at the Publishing App Summit on December 7-8. For more information on the event, follow this link. For more about writers covering Occupy Wall Street, check out our growing list of Best Writers Covering Occupy Wall Street.
