International Firebird Book Awards Celebrate Excellence in Writing with Purpose-Driven Mission
The International Firebird Book Awards celebrate outstanding authors and publishers globally, featuring a diverse range of genres. Submissions are evaluated by a panel of 29 judges, with each entry reviewed by two judges using consistent criteria. Only those with the highest scores win the prestigious Firebird Award, recognizing exceptional talent in the literary community.
One of the winning entries came from Iowa author Sharon L. Clark, whose book titled I’ll Call You Mine won 1st place in the Romantic Suspense category.
Participating in the Firebird Book Awards goes beyond just submitting an entry. Founder Patricia J. Rullo shares that your entry fee is a tax-deductible donation that supports women and children facing homelessness. It helps create cheerful, handmade pillowcases and provides inspiring books to shelters like Enchanted Makeovers. By entering, you’re not only aiming for recognition but also helping transform shelters into welcoming homes filled with warmth and joy. Every entry makes a positive impact!
The Firebird Book Awards, powered by Speak Up Talk Radio, celebrate creative talents and provide authors with opportunities to share their stories. They recognize outstanding books and podcasts and offer services such as author interviews, book reviews, audiobook production, book editing, formatting, and marketing to help authors succeed.
The Firebird Awards host quarterly contests, offering authors a chance to shine year-round. This inclusive competition welcomes all genres and accepts submissions from traditionally published, indie, and self-published writers.
Kaye Cabral is an extreme sports junkie, spending her time rafting the most dangerous whitewater rapids, skiing impossible slopes, and scaling jagged cliff faces. Her life in Lyons, Colorado may be filled with adrenaline-pumping activities, but the rest of her time is spent surrounded by the people she loves, including the family of her successful author ex-husband, Samuel. When his sister’s wedding rolls around, Kaye and Samuel are thrown together and have to find a way to survive everything leading up to the wedding without killing each other. The task is easier said than done when they have to contend with Kaye’s unwilling role in Samuel’s best-selling novels, his stunning editor – and new love interest – Caroline, and the scars of their heartbreaking divorce. Having been childhood sweethearts, there’s a lot of history and baggage to unpack so they can both move on with their lives.
