BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Sept. 8, 2019 - From Crisis to Compassion, written by Kern County resident, Sally Betters, has been nominated for a 2019 Author Academy Award, an honor bestowed for literary merit and publishing excellence in the writing and publishing industry.
Sally Betters' book is a top ten finalist for an award in the Memoir category. She is a UCLA graduate and a former Special Education Certified Tutor. Her book is a compelling and relevant story of a young girl who faces childhood trauma and a series of tragic events that impact her adult decisions. From Crisis to Compassion is a true story of great hope and redemption. It's available in English and in Spanish on Amazon.com. Proceeds go to stop human trafficking.
"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 the 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. Entries are being 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.
