The Sixth Annual National Indie Excellence Awards recognized “Make New Friends … Live Longer” by Sunie Levin in the category of Aging as a winner/finalist.
This national award, based in Los Angeles, is open to all English language books including small presses, university presses, independent publishers and self-published authors. Works published in 2009, 2010 and 2011 were eligible for consideration.
The competition is judged by independent experts from all aspects of the indie book industry, including publishers, writers, editors, book cover designers and professional copywriters. They select award winners and finalists based on overall excellence of presentation.
“Make New Friends … Live Longer” is a non-fiction genre book — a how-to for boomers and seniors to become proactive in making new friends.
“We appreciate you, we applaud you and thank you for your great work. You are contributing to make independent publishing a great sector in the literary community,” said Ellen Ried, president of the National Indie Excellence Book Awards.
