Readers' Favorite International Book Awards

Nov 27, 2022

I'm happy to announce that my book, Journey to Jumbalot, received a Gold Medal from the 2022 Readers' Favorite International Book Awards. This award represents the children's preteen category and it felt wonderful to win first place.

My wife and I were planning to attend their award ceremony held last weekend in Miami, but we were both feeling sick and I later found out that I developed pneumonia. Thankfully, we're both beginning to feel a little better each day.

The reps at Readers' Favorite informed me that we can attend next year's event, and they'll still allow me to walk on stage to accept my award. In addition, they quickly mailed me my gold medal.

If you recently published or self-published any books, I highly recommend Readers Favorite for professional book reviews and for a chance to win an award at their annual contest!

Readers' Favorite Book Awards Ceremony

By Ryan Wakefield • 01 Dec, 2023

It was a wonderful experience accepting my book’s gold medal on stage at the annual Readers’ Favorite Book Awards. Journey to Jumbalot won a gold medal within the preteen fantasy category last year, but I was unable to attend since my wife and I were both sick with pneumonia. I’d like to thank the event organizers at Readers’ Favorite for allowing me to accept my award this year on stage - it meant a lot to us both! We also attended the massive Miami Book Fair and enjoyed chatting with several fellow authors.
