“Once a book is written, it needs to be discovered. The ability to illustrate the bronze medal in my marketing gives VANOPS: THE LOST POWER an edge over the competition. The Wishing Shelf Awards were professionally run and the bonus feedback was helpful, too. Enter your book today!”

'Edward, this is truly outstanding!

First, let me take you up on the kind offer of a rating/review on Goodreads and Amazon UK - truly you and the Wishing Shelf crew understand the value of reviews and comprehensive critique, both of which are in evidence in the feedback form.

I have already recommended your services to three authors, and will certainly continue to do so, as well as shouting out these amazing quotes across social media.'

Ken Mora, author of Caravaggio: A Light Before The Darkness

'Being a part of The Wishing Shelf Book Awards was a fantastic experience. Not only did it increase exposure to my book, and lead to more book sales and reviews, but the feedback from judges was superb and added real value to both my website and the Editorial section of my Amazon book page. Winning this award increased my credibility as an author and having a gold medal to position beside one's book is probably one of the most validating feelings an author can experience. I loved the group, and Edward runs a smooth, transparent and professional contest. It was an honor to take part and an even deeper honor to have been selected as the Gold Medal winner for Adult Fiction.'

E A Carter, author of The Lost Valor of Love

'I have been so looking forward to a review from your readers for my book, Lately Lesbian. I wish I could meet all of them in person and personally thank them for spending time with my book, following me down my life's path, and taking the time to write a heartfelt review! Thanks to you for everything you do to support authors! I have been delighted to enter the Wishing Shelf Book Awards, honored to be named a finalist, and to get valuable feedback from the reviewers!'

J. D. Simmons, author of Lately Lesbian
