Rarity from the Hollow Finalist for Global Award

Eggleton advances against hundreds of authors worldwide for prestigious Author Academy Award

 

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – October 3, 2018  Rarity from the Hollow, written by Charleston resident, Robert Eggleton, has been named a finalist in the 2018 Author Academy Award, an honor bestowed for literary merit and publishing excellence in the writing and publishing industry.

Eggleton’s book is up for an award in the Science Fiction category, which includes literary speculative fiction, such as stories which include social commentary set in other world settings.

“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 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.
