The Author Elite Award is an annual prize bestowed for literary merit and publishing excellence

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Oct. 26, 2022 - PRLog -- The Author Elite Award is an annual prize bestowed for literary merit and publishing excellence in the writing and publishing industry.

Columbus, Ohio — "Five years ago we launched an experiment called the annual Author Elite Awards. In the process we've attracted many of the best authors in the world," said Kary Oberbrunner, founder of Igniting Souls and the Author Elite Awards. "Our goal is to celebrate a force that creates life change in our society—books and the authors who write them. In our noisy world, books offer a unique appeal—the ability to lose ourselves in a story. Nothing else provides such transcendence."

This year, the AEAs are proud to pay tribute to authors who have created impact, income, and influence with their books by bestowing them with an honorary award. We are proud of the wide variety of authors who received the honor, each one of them a true reflection of success through hard work and self-belief.

This year's honorary recipients are:

Shane Svorec, author of Broken Little Believer: Finding Purpose in All the Pretty Painful Pieces
