Writer’s Digest Award

One of the most prestigious and competitive awards in the book industry. Normally given out to non-fiction books Pope Annalisa scored the highest marks in all categories of writing used by the judges. The critique of one judge commenced by the comment, “WOW” (see the REVIEWS SECTION)

Nautilus Awards

POPE ANNALISA swept the prestigious Nautilus Book Awards winning two Silver Medals and one Gold Medal in two different categories, Visionary Fiction and Spirituality. The path to the Nautilus Gold Medal Award was unanimous at all three judging levels and the book obtained the highest scores in its category seen in some years.

The Nautilus Awards has one of the most rigorous judging processes of any national book award contest. The book must pass three panels of judges located across the U.S. The judges’ panels are composed of people with successful careers as editors, writers, librarians, schoolteachers, and bookstore owners. The process is a deliberate course of examination and scrutiny designed to sort and separate books as they are measured against a carefully prepared list of notable characteristics.
