Becoming a writer is one of the most challenging career paths one can take. Most successful writers have the combination of persistence and talent, but don't forget to throw in a handful of luck. Pollsters reports 80 percent of Americans would like to be a published author and according to a report by Google there are 130 million published books in human history.
NABE, the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs, now celebrating 35 years, sent nominees invitations to the Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards. These awards have been given for more than 29 years and honor some of the finest Publishing Houses, Small Presses and Independent Publishers in over 60 categories including children's, fiction, memoir, self-help, health, inspirational, young adult, parenting and poetry.
Northern Books a small publishing company based in Clinton County received an invitation to the Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards on Thursday. Northern Books was created by Donna M. Kshir (Clinton County, Pa.), Lee Roberts (Crestview, FL.) to publish independent authors to share their stories and celebrate their experiences - simply - through words; were among the candidates.
Kshir and Roberts have each made a name for themselves in the publishing world; making Amazon and Barnes & Nobles Bestsellers lists multiple times for their advocacy books focusing on Parenting & Relationships, Family Relationships Abuse, Partner Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Homelessness, Orphan's and Foster Home Books. Their release Tent City: Tragedy Turned Triumph focuses on the homeless crisis in Charleston, West Virginia.
The duo has been previously honored for their child advocacy work; uniting with Erin's Law in 2013 to create awareness for childhood sexual abuse, being nominated for the 2010, 2011 Rare Life Award and receiving the 2012, 2013 and 2014 National Non-Profits Advocate Apprecilove Week Award to nonprofit organizations, advocates, community leaders and youth leaders across the USA. Each woman considers herself "one more voice" to make this world a better, safer place for all mankind.
The Pinnacle Awards is based on book content, quality, writing style, presentation and cover design. Winners from all categories will be announced in the Summer 2016.
South Renovo woman publishes book on time raising kids
KEVIN RAUCH/FOR THE EXPRESS Local author Amy Clary held a book signing and reading recently in a packed Renovo Area Public Library as family and friends helped her celebrate the release of her first book, “Cold Coffee MOMents.” The book is a collection of her daily blogs, in which she writes about life as a wife and mother of three young children she is raising in South Renovo with her husband, Jeff.
SOUTH RENOVO — Some days you get home from a long day at work, the kids are running frantically around the house as you try to cook supper, and you wonder if the day is ever going to end.
South Renovo mother of three Amy Clary has had many of these early evenings, but rather than “get through” these hectic days, she tries to embrace them.
With that mantra, Clary has actually penned her first book “Cold Coffee MOMents,” a collection of her online journal as she chronicles the days of raising three kids, all still too young for school.
