This is amazing news and has made my week. I’ll check out the conference information and your other services. Wow! What an honor. — Steven O’Farrell

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.
That was quite an incredible review, and I appreciate the time and dedication so much! – Tyler Drinkard, author of Isolated Domain
Thank you for sending this to me. I was anxious and excited to read the comments and suggestions. Please convey my sincere thanks to S. Taylor they did an excellent job pointing out flaws and issues to tighten up in my story. This was exactly what I was looking for and will be implementing all the suggestions. I will highly recommend your services to all of my fellow authors in the future. – Brent Golembiewski, Flick of the Switch
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.

Your passion for storytelling and your dedication to those that tell them is second to none! Not even a global pandemic could stop you. Thank you for all that you do to promote and support independent authors, such as myself.

I can’t imagine the work that must go into getting all of these books read and judged…congratulations on you and the entire CIBA team for doing such an outstanding job.
