I’m so excited to announce that my third children’s book, Night Buddies Go Sky High, was announced to be a National Indie Excellence Award Finalist! We placed in the Chapter Book category among two other excellent titles (for a full list of winners, click here).
This is the first award Night Buddies Go Sky High has won, but makes the Night Buddies series an 8-time award winning series!
As an indie author, much of the time you wonder if your book matters in this large market, amid books backed by big-name publishers. But awards like the National Indie Excellence Awards (who have now been around for 10 years!) bring authors confidence and pride in the work they’ve put forth, as well as bring readers a great opportunity to give books they might otherwise not have known about a read.
I’m extremely grateful to NIEA for choosing my book as a finalist, as well as to all the readers who have believed in it all along. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Now it’s time to celebrate!
What do you think of awards for indie authors? Have you ever discovered a book you love because they won an award? Let me know in the comments!
Congratulations, Sands! It is well deserved!!
