Laramie Semi-Finalist- Author of The Scout
I really enjoy the way Chanticleer keeps contestants apprised of their status during the contest and what level of achievement they’ve reached using your four-tier structure. Most other book award contests only post the winner and two to five finalists, leaving everyone else in the dark on how they actually did.

Alex Sirotkin — Author of The Long Desert Road
I wanted you to know how much I appreciated what you wrote – especially concerning the notion of perspective to which you referred at the end.It was one of the main points of my book, and you totally got it, although most do not. I thought I was being clear enough, even redundant.
But even professional reviewers who like the book, just don’t pick up on this. You did, and that gave me a bit more confidence. So thanks!

Wow. Indeed, I was humbled by such a fantastic review of my book. In fact, thought I’ve had some excellent reviews, this one surpassed them all. I thank you so much for reading and recommending my work to others. I know my editor Jenny Quinlan, will be enthralled, as well. —Brook Allen, Author of the Antonius Trilogy, and Chaucer Award First Place Winner

Thank you! Only problem with the manuscript review is that I had to completely re-write the manuscript – I learned a great deal from the exercise. –
