Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor’s Book, “Beyond Messy Relationships” Nominated for Global Award

Chattanooga, TN, October 01, 2019 --(PR.com)-- “Beyond Messy Relationships,” written by professional counselor, Judy K Herman, and published by Morgan James, has been nominated for a 2019 Author Academy Award, an honor bestowed for literary merit and publishing excellence in the writing and publishing industry.

Herman’s book is up for an award in the Memoir category. She gives readers psychological wisdom and spiritual insights from her personal stories of divorce, remarriage, bipolar disorder, and betrayal as passageways toward the authentic journey of hope, meaning, and transformation.

“Hundreds of books from authors throughout the world are up for an Author Academy Award,” said Kary Oberbrunner, founder of Author Academy Elite and the Author Academy Awards. “Our goal is to help further connect this global community of authors, maintain excellence and integrity of the book publishing industry, and raise awareness that the stories being told and the authors who write them are worth our attention.”

Authors of all kinds - indie (self-published), traditional, or collaborative published - are being considered for the award in one of sixteen categories. Entries are being reviewed and evaluated on popular vote, social contribution, and overall presentation (cover, content, flow, and originality) by the Academy's voting membership comprised of best-selling authors, literary agents and industry leaders.

If interested in supporting Herman and participating in the popular vote portion of the award evaluation, go to https://authoracademyawards.com/finalists2019/ and scroll to the “Ready to Vote?” section. Once there, click through to the Memoir category, then find and click on “Beyond Messy Relationships: Divine Invitations To Your Authentic Self.”
