BOOK AWARD PRESS RELEASE FOR I AM CANCER FREE

For immediate release:

Readers' Favorite recognizes "I Am Cancer Free" by Mrs. Brenda C Mohammed in its annual international book award contest, currently available at AMAZON.

The Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest featured thousands of contestants from over a dozen countries, ranging from new independent authors to NYT best-sellers and celebrities.

Readers' Favorite is one of the largest book review and award contest sites on the Internet. They have earned the respect of renowned publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Harper Collins, and have received the "Best Websites for Authors" and "Honoring Excellence" awards from the Association of Independent Authors. They are also fully accredited by the BBB (A+ rating), which is a rarity among Book Review and Book Award Contest companies.

We receive thousands of entries from all over the world. Because of these large submission numbers, we are able to break down our contest into 140+ genres, and each genre is judged separately, ensuring that books only compete against books of their same genre for a fairer and more accurate competition. We receive submissions from independent authors, small publishers, and publishing giants such as Random House, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster, with contestants that range from the first-time, self-published author to New York Times bestsellers like J.A. Jance, James Rollins, and #1 best-selling author Daniel Silva, as well as celebrity authors like Jim Carrey (Bruce Almighty), Henry Winkler (Happy Days), and Eriq La Salle (E.R., Coming to America).

"When the right books are picked as winners we pay attention. We will be spreading the word about Readers' Favorite." --Karen A., Editor for Penguin Random House

Packing my bags to attend the Readers Favorite International Book Awards 2018 in Miami

I am packing my bags to attend the Readers Favorite International Book Awards 2018 in Miami in November.
Two of my books won awards this year.

Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka

I am Cancer Free: Cancer does not have to be a death sentence

About 250 to 300 authors and their families from all over the world are expected to attend the Award Ceremony which will be held at The Regency Hotel Miami.
I received this information from Readers Favorite:
Awards Ceremony Tips and Itinerary Social Media Hashtag: #ReadersFavoriteMiami2018

Congratulations on your award, and thank you for allowing us to celebrate with you at our Awards Ceremony in Miami!
We are going to do our best to ensure you have a great time.
To that end we wanted to provide you with some tips and an itinerary of our Awards Ceremony weekend.
We hope this document and the information on your Contestant’s page in your Author Area will answer all your questions.
If you need any help, now or in Miami, our support team is always available by phone, text or email. Have a safe trip and we look forward to meeting you!


The Regency Hotel Miami provides a free shuttle to and from the airport, as well as to a few other local destinations.
When you exit the airport, you will be outside the Departures level where you will see all of the cabs, buses and shuttles.
The shuttle for the hotel is on a permanent loop and will be by about every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Just keep an eye out for a van or shuttle bus with Regency Hotel on the side and wave them down when they approach.
You can also take a cab from the same area.
The hotel is only about 2 miles away.


When you check in, be sure to put a copy of your book on the check-in counter.
The hotel loves having the Readers’ Favorite group and wants to help you show off your book and has invited everyone to put their books up for display on the counter.
We pretty much sell out the entire hotel, so just about everyone you meet or pass in the elevator is a Readers’ Favorite author or guest.
So don’t forget to carry your book around everywhere you go and you will be surprised at how easy it is to strike up conversations and meet your fellow authors.


The Miami Book Fair International is about 7 miles away from the hotel, and unless you have a rental car, the best way to get there is by taxi. However, we have negotiated a reduced rate shared ride to and from the book fair on Saturday.
The cost is $15 per person round trip (cash or credit card).
The vans leave Saturday morning at 10am from the Regency Hotel Miami lobby. You do not have to sign up, just be in the lobby a few minutes before 10. When they drop you off they will explain when to return for pickup, which is generally around 2pm.

With correct Keywords one book sale can place your book in the Top 100 Bestsellers on Amazon

Keywords are ideas and topics that define what your content is about.
In terms of SEO, they're the words and phrases that searchers enter into search engines, also called "search queries."
One book sale can place your book in the Top 100 Bestsellers on Amazon and I have proven it here.
True, these positions are very temporary but they boost your confidence and encourage you to do better marketing.
Look at these screenshots.

Heart Warming Tales reached No 58 in Romance with one book sale in early August.

I am Cancer Free was No 12 in Chemotherapy in late August.

Travel Memoirs with Pictures climbed to #72 with one sale.

She Cried for me was No 82 after one sale.

The book, Zeeka and the Zombies, has been fluctuating with many downloads as the book is FREE.

The point I am making is that Keywords are the keys to high book rankings and eventually your book sales will flourish.
