"The Wishing Shelf Book Awards are fantastic... tremendously well organised and a terrific opportunity to hear direct feedback from such a large group of young readers together. The impact that my Silver Medal award has made has been unbelievable. It has added further credibility and prestige to my reputation as an author, and it feels great to mention success like this at my school visits and festival events.
Although the award hasn't been listed on my Wikipedia page yet, I believe the mention of said award encouraged Wiki to start a page for me last month for the first time. I also think that highlighting the award helped secure me an interview on TalkSport radio, as I launch my next book on the Hawksbee and Jacobs Show before 1.1 million listeners! Thanks for everything, Mr Billy Bob Buttons, sir!"
'I find the Wishing Shelf Awards particularly useful because of the stats you declare. Especially the number of readers who'd read another book by the author - surely the truest test available!
The reader's comments too are invaluable.'
'I found the Wishing Shelf Awards an extremely helpful and rewarding thing to engage with. I am not into book competitions usually but the feedback was extremely useful and has helped me believe in myself as a writer and given me much more confidence. It also confirmed to me the main area I need to improve is the cover. I will definitely enter my next book when it is ready. Thanks, it was well worth it, much more informative than the usual competition ethos.'
'I love these awards because they put my books in the hands of real readers. The feedback has helped me develop as a writer so that each of my books is better than the last.'
'Hi, I have just finished reading through to feedback for Olivia Stone and the Dread of the Dreamers. Thank you so much for continuing to run the award. It is a great opportunity for authors to get accolades for their hard work. I was excited and pleased to read the comments from the kids. I am extremely happy with the feedback and would love for you to post the feedback online.'
