USA Book News and the Best Books Awards have been an integral part of my publishing success over the last three years. First winning multiple Best Book awards in 2007 for my self-published/self distributed book, I gained incredible national media exposure. A new edition of my book was released again in 2009 with a new cover, new ISBN and national distribution. This 2009 win in the Autobiography/Memoir category is bittersweet and will only help me to get my story out to more people who are affected by mental illness in their families. A very special Thank You to President & CEO, Jeff Keen you and your team are the most professional and results oriented executives in the publishing industry.
Thom Bierdz, Author/Actor/Artist, 2009 Award Winner

The award stickers definitely help sales. The book already has sold more because of this award. I'm very excited about this and impressed with the full list of winner/finalists. It clearly shows your judges go by quality versus name. I will for sure enter again with next book. Tara L. Masih, 2010 Award Finalist
Since the release of the awards information I received an order for a box of books to be shipped out. Thank you very much. Cindy Mauro Reisenauer, 2010 Award Winning Author
Costco recently picked up Greg Park's fantasy adventure series and they are selling a lot of Veil of Darkness (Best Books Winner) and Cleansing Hunt (Best Books Finalist). They've found that when the award stickers are on the books, they sell even better. Chantilly Park, Publisher 2009 Winner and Finalist

I won a USA Book News Best Books Award in 2007. Because of this recognition, I have been asked to speak at many important universities. Harvard, Yale, Nova, Florida Atlantic University, Fordham Law School are just a few of the universities that have invited me to speak allowing me the opportunity to spread the message that there was a genocide of the Armenians in 1915, a fact many are not aware of. My mission is to tell those that do not know and to convince those that do not believe. Margaret Ajemian Ahnert, author, The Knock at the Door
