The Author Talk podcast, which ranks among the top 10 podcasts in the United States for independent authors and publishers, offers a platform for authors to share their stories, insights, and experiences with a broad audience. The podcast was founded a decade ago by Aimee Ravichandran, alongside Sandy Lawrence of Perceptive Public Relations, and Russell Little, a Houston attorney and author. Over the years, Author Talk has become a trusted resource and a beacon of inspiration for indie authors, offering them a voice and visibility in the crowded publishing market.
“The goal of the FIRE Book Awards is not only to recognize outstanding independent authors but also to aid them in their marketing efforts,” said Rita Mills, Founding Director and Project Manager for the FIRE Book Awards. “By partnering with Author Talk, we are providing our entrants with a unique chance to reach a wider audience and to promote their work through a well-respected and widely listened-to platform.”
Submissions for the FIRE Book Awards are open until September 30, 2024.
