The National Indie Excellence Book Awards are dedicated to celebrating and promoting the outstanding work of independent publishers and authors. It has just been announced that one of our own FWA Group Leaders, Susan Haley of the Sarasota Chapter, was honored as runner-up Finalist in the 2008 Indie Excellence competition for the Audio Book version of her novel Rainy Day People. The audio was produced by Spoken Books Publishing.
In addition to now being able to affix the 2008 Gold Award Sticker on her books, Susan will be included in a National Publicity Campaign that reaches over 700 publishers, buyers, editors and producers culminating in recognition at the 2008 Book Expo America in Los Angeles, California in July.
Congratulations, Susan!

FWA Sarasota Writers Group Leader
- Susan Haley
- As Group Leader of the Sarasota Chapter of the Florida Writers Association, I'm also actively attending other writing groups and Community Literary events to advance the premise "Writers Helping Writers". I'm really excited about the power of Networking and have met some wonderful people all over the country. I'm grateful to FWA and Infinity Publishing for these opportunities. I'm the author of two published books: "Fibers In The Web" published by Whispering Wind Publishing and "Rainy Day People" published by Infinity Publishing. "Rainy Day People" is one of ten books that has just been chosen to represent Infinity's new Audio Book Division, Spoken Word Publishing. The Audio version will be going into production next week. I'm thrilled!
