Apache Creek Publishing author, Diedra Drake, was awarded the Firebird Book Award for her book, "Cursed by Furies." The San Antonio, Texas author was recognized in the Mythology category, and was one of eighty-four winners of the prize.
San Antonio, TX, June 22, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Speak Up Talk Radio announced the winners of 2021’s first quarter Firebird Book Awards contest. Eighty four winners were announced in 98 categories.
One of the winning entries was from San Antonio, Texas author Diedra Drake whose book titled "Cursed by Furies" won in the Mythology category. Drake is represented by local San Antonio publishing house, Apache Creek Publishing.
Authors and publishers from around the world submitted their work to the Firebird Book Awards. A panel of 12 judges within the writing and publishing space then read every book and independently scored each entry according to a set of standardized criteria that evaluates the quality of the writing as well as production aspects. Only entries with the highest of scores are awarded the coveted Firebird.
Patricia J. Rullo, founder of the Firebird Book Awards, says, “This quarter’s entries were a joy to read and speak to the talent out there. At Speak Up Talk Radio, our mission is to offer radio interviews and podcasting services to help authors expand their reach. In addition to additional prizes, our winners have the opportunity to be interviewed and aired on iHeart Radio, Pandora, as well as 50 additional online venues, giving them new ways to speak up and share their work.”
Pat adds, “We’ve included a charitable component to our awards by making all entry fees tax-deductible to the author. In return, we personally make and send handmade fun and whimsical pillowcases to women and children in homeless shelters via Enchanted Makeovers, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. All entry fees fund this project. In this way, authors can get notoriety for their work while doing good for others. It’s been such a rewarding venture for everyone.”
The Firebird Book Awards run quarterly contests so authors can receive recognition on a timely basis. Authors from all genres, mainstream, independent, and self-published are welcome. Additional winning authors and titles as well as entry information is available at SpeakUpTalkRadio.com
