Comments from Authors/Publishers

'The readers' comments are the true validation I was seeking for Tails.
Thanks for managing this awesome service and I'm so glad to be part of the Wishing Shelf Awards.'

W J Scott, author of Tails

'Receiving feedback from young readers about my book Time Shifters was both invaluable and wonderful. Honest responses from my target readership of 9-12 year-olds was worth ever penny of the fee to enter the awards. Being the Gold Winner in my book’s category was the icing on the cake.'

Kate Frost, author of Time Shifters

'I always recommend to my author friends that they enter their books into the Wishing Shelf Book awards, as it is extremely helpful to get feedback from real readers (in my case, children) so I know I am giving them what they want. And the ‘catchy quotes’ are really useful as a promotional tool.'

Tessa Buckley, author of Eye Spy 2

'The Wishing Shelf Awards are so valuable to writers who are independent and many times, that means alone. Having this feedback is priceless as it connects us to the rest of the world, outside our own. Thank you Edward.'

Flora-Beth Edwards, author of The Hieroglyphic Fae: The Sacred Language of Fairies

'Greetings Edward!

Thank you so much for your invaluable time and efforts. The Wishing Shelf Book Awards meant more to me than any other because our little readers were the ones judging. Nothing is as important or special or meaningful as that. They are the reason I chose to be a writer, and I am grateful to each and every one of them for loving my story. I was honored to be chosen as a finalist. This treasured honor will truly stay with me forever. My heartfelt thanks to you and to all of my readers for providing me with great feedback and incentive to keep writing! You are all my heroes.

Yes, please post my feedback! Thank you again!'

Pam Hartley, author of The Final Rue of Naveena Bleu
