'Hi!!!
I hope this email finds you very well! I just wanted to thank you so much for the gorgeous medal! My son, who is eight and autistic, recently participated in the Special Olympics and won two gold medals in his events...so now I can preen about just like he's been doing with my own gold medal!
This experience has been truly amazing. Thank you for all that you do, and for providing a lovely platform for indie authors to get exposure and priceless feedback.
Have a lovely rest-of-your-week!'
'The wishing shelf book awards are a refreshing change where books are judged as a standalone item first. Any and all books can be a finalist, which is inspiring to all entrants. The feedback received has helped shape my understanding of both my story and my intended audience. The Awards felt genuine and in the interest of aspiring authors.'
'Hi Edward, this is all really great news and great feedback. We felt that we hit the mark and the feedback affirms that, which gives us independent confirmation from others rather than just our own feelings about the book. We don't get a lot of feedback through other channels so it's really great to hear from readers, especially hearing directly from the kids as well. We used the finalist logo to promote the book on social media, and the post got a lot of attention and raised more credible awareness of the book. I think the fact that people can also go to your website and see that the award program is genuine and well organized supports the credibility factor.'
"The Wishing Shelf Awards are really special for an author because they offer an opportunity to connect directly with your audience and get actual reader feedback on your writing and illustrations. Also, kudos to the Billy Bob for his tireless efforts to promote independent children's literature."
'I would highly recommend the Wishing Shelf Book Awards. It is a great opportunity for writers to get valuable feedback from a cross section of reading groups which is very informative and helpful to smaller authors trying to understand their audience. The organiser Edward has undoubtedly gone out of his way to support his entrants by offering the extras such as advertising on Goodreads, all invaluable for smaller presses, and self published authors. This alone is a great boost but being a finalist or winner can only help to market the work. Thank you.'
