Marcus Johnson up against ten other finalist winners for prestigious 2020 Author Elite Award.
Clermont, FL, September 21, 2020 --(PR.com)-- “My Personal Desert Storm: Eating Crow and Humble Pie,” written by Clermont resident, Marcus Johnson, has been voted as a Top 10 Finalist for a 2020 Author Elite Award, an honor bestowed for literary merit and publishing excellence in the writing and publishing industry. After being nominated earlier in the year along with hundreds of other books, worldwide, it was announced in August that My Personal Desert Storm had been voted as a Top 10 Finalist.
Johnson’s book is up for an award in the Memoir category, which tells the story of Johnson’s life transformation during his participation in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, as shared, along with commentary, directly from a Journal that he maintained during the war.
“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. Nomination entries were 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.
Once Johnson’s book nomination was approved, the book was then voted on by the general public and other authors, with the Top 10 Finalists in all 16 categories being announced in August.
