Winning an Award

Sep 4

Congratulations to Author Accelerator certification student Angie Andriot who recently won a writing award! Read on to learn more about it and how she is celebrating.

Tell us more about the award you won.

I won the Claymore Award for Best Juvenile/YA Manuscript. The Claymore Award is presented by Killer Nashville. This was the third contest I’ve entered for my novel.

What did you do to celebrate?

I went out for a fancy dinner with my husband.

What’s next for the book?

I'm currently querying. An agent has requested my full manuscript and I am trying hard not to die of dread!

What are the next steps in your career?

I'm already working my second novel - this time, with the help of the Author Accelerator Blueprint and the guidance of a fellow student in the coaching program. Once I have my Author Accelerator certification, I plan to continue writing while also accompanying others on their writing journey.
