If anyone’s going to be in Studio City this coming Wednesday, October 15, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., I encourage you to drop by the Sportsman Lodge where Irwin Zucker and the Book Publicists of Southern California will be hosting their annual book awards banquet. This year’s Celebrity Presenter will be none other than beloved Emmy award-winning TV journalist Stan Chambers, who will award an Irwin to BPSC members in 12 categories ranging from Best Fiction/Non-Fiction Campaigns to Publicist of the Year, to Most Innovative/Most Inspirational/Best International, etc…
In case you haven’t heard, Stolen Boy won the Irwin Award for best fiction. Stolen Boy has now rounded up a total of seven awards. Besides the Irwin, Stolen Boy has recently garnered a prestigious IPPY Gold Medal for fiction, the 2007 Book of the Year Award from Books-And-Authors.net, and first place from the Public Safety Writers Association for best novel. Stolen Boy has also been selected as one of two national finalists by the Indie Excellence Awards and Honorable Mention for best fiction by both the New York Book Festival and the Hollywood Book Festival.
