“The Book Excellence Awards stands out from other awards programs through their recognition of a wider variety genres, detailed coaching, and recognition on multiple platforms. After winning, I’ve enjoyed increased recognition as an authority on writing and increased sales. The videos in the coaching program were easy to follow and contained many good prompts and ideas.
