I am pleased to share I have been named a Distinguished Author by the International Impact Book Awards for my latest, Steward’s Journey. Below is a copy of the email I received notifying me of this accomplishment. I am ecstatic to have achieved this distinction. Bill
Dear William,
Following a thorough review of your work against our Standard of Excellence, our panel has selected you as a Distinguished Author of the International Impact Book Awards for your book, Steward’s Journey.
This distinction is conferred upon a limited number of authors, leaders, and voices whose work demonstrates genuine, measurable impact on the readers and communities they serve. Your work reflected precisely the caliber this honor was created to recognize.
To be recognized as a Distinguished Author is to be positioned among a global community of authors whose words carry weight and whose ideas leave a lasting mark. This recognition is not given lightly. It is earned on the strength of what you created and it now belongs to you. It is a mark of distinction you carry into every room, every stage, and every conversation that follows.
An Invitation to Be Celebrated in Person
It would be our honor to celebrate this achievement with you at the 2027 International Impact Book Awards Honors & Gala, taking place January 29–30, 2027, at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown in Phoenix, Arizona.
This is a weekend created entirely for you. It begins Friday with our Welcome Night, an evening of connection and inspiration among fellow honored authors. On Saturday morning, at the Honors Ceremony, your name will be announced as you are called to the stage to receive your award in person. And on Saturday evening, we celebrate together at the Grand Gala a red carpet, a candlelit dinner, and an evening of recognition worthy of all you have accomplished. Every author who attends receives their award trophy and Distinguished Author Collection Set to carry home as a lasting reminder of the night they were honored.
On behalf of the International Impact Book Awards, it is our privilege to welcome you among the authors whose stories leave the world better than they found it.
With warm congratulations,
Nim Stant
Founder & CEO
The International Impact Book Awards
