THE GRAPHIX PROJECT TO OFFICIALLY LAUNCH IN SPRING 2026
After five years in the making, the Graphix Project will officially launch in May 2026 with the release of our first graphic history, an adaptation of the best selling book “The Water Defenders: How Ordinary People Saved a Country from Corporate Greed“. This acclaimed book tells a David and Goliath story of ordinary people in El Salvador who rallied together with international allies to prevent a global mining corporation from poisoning the country’s main water source. At a time when countless communities are resisting powerful corporations — from Flint, Michigan, to the Standing Rock Reservation, to Didipio in the Philippines — The Water Defenders tells the inspirational story of a community that took on an international mining corporation at seemingly insurmountable odds and won.

YEARNING TO JOIN THESE BRAVE WARRIORS AND DO MORE?
1. Request a copy at your local library. Library purchases count as sales, and
librarians are instrumental in getting books out to readers. And we didn’t just write this
book for sales; we wrote it in the hope that people would read it.
2. Share this book with a friend. Indeed, whether it is our book or someone else’s
book, tell people that you know authors with a book coming out! Word of mouth from
you is one of the best tools we have.
3. Add it to your Goodreads “want to read” shelf. Or set up a Goodreads “want to
read” shelf.
4. Write a short review. Your individual reviews matter a great deal, especially in this
era when newspapers like the Washington Post have stopped reviewing books. When
the book is published and assuming you like our book, writing a brief review on Goodreads and/or on retailer pages at Amazon (gulp!) and Barnes & Noble tells potential readers that they need to read our book while also signaling to those platforms that the book is attracting interest, which in turn promotes it in search results.
