Think of it as a hot bowl of pho that warms the Vietnamese soul. These are the stories of struggle and triumph from a displaced generation full of angst.\u201d said Huy Pham, founder of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iamvietnamese.org\">I Am Vietnamese<\/a> project.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/496122\">ebook edition is available<\/a> on Smashwords.com in multiple formats including .mobi (kindle), .epub, and .pdf. \u201cWe decided to make the ebook free because we wanted to make this phenomenal book available to everyone,\u201d said Mr. Pham.<\/p>\n<p>For those that prefer a print edition, a $5,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1722709465\/i-am-vietnamese-the-anthology\">kickstarter campaign<\/a> was started and will last 30 days. Printed copies start at $25. \u201cWe hope a successful kickstarter campaign will show large publishers that there is a market for these stories,\u201d explained Mr. Pham.<\/p>\n<p>All proceeds from the anthology will go towards three phenomenal charities \u2014 the Vietnamese Culture and Science Association (VCSA), Sunflower Mission, and the Vietnamese American Scholarship Foundation (VASF).<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>About I Am Vietnamese Project: The I Am Vietnamese Project is a non-profit dedicated to the collection and publication of short stories about personal and Vietnamese cultural identity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smashwords EBook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/496122\">https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/496122<\/a><br \/>\nKickstarter Campaign: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1722709465\/i-am-vietnamese-the-anthology\">https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1722709465\/i-am-vietnamese-the-anthology<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Contacts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Huy Pham: <a href=\"mailto:huy@iamvietnamese.org\">huy@iamvietnamese.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Non-Profit I Am Vietnamese anthology launches a free ebook and a kickstarter campaign for the print edition.
