WILMINGTON, N.C., Nov. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Over a thousand authors worldwide were nominated for their work in one of 16 categories. Entries were reviewed and evaluated on popular vote, social contribution, and overall presentation (cover, content, flow, and originality) by a panel of select judges.
Friedman presented his book synopsis at the Author Academy Awards Red Carpet Sessions, which was then followed by a Red Carpet Meet and Greet, and the Author Academy Awards Ceremony. While other winners thanked those that supported and believed in them, during Friedman's acceptance speech, he thanked those that did not believe in him. This included the agents and publishers that told him his book wasn't worthy of being published. Dr. Friedman shared how he turned this "REJECTION into REDIRECTION" which motivated him to work even harder. The results paid off and Food Sanity went on to become an international award-winning, #1 best-selling book. After giving a shout out to those that decided not to publish Food Sanity, Friedman held up his award and said, "In the words of Julia Roberts from Pretty woman, 'Big Mistake!' "
Kary Oberbrunner, founder of the Author Academy Awards said, "The Author Academy Awards is an honor bestowed for literary merit and publishing excellence in the writing and publishing industry. Our goal is to help further connect this global community of authors, and maintain excellence and integrity of the book publishing industry."
"It's truly been a 'pinch me' year!" Dr. Friedman says." It took six years to write, review over thousand clinical studies, interview scientists, and renowned doctors before Food Sanity came to fruition. Being an Author Academy Award winner will further help my mission to change the world one plate at a time."
Jack Canfield, New York Time's best-selling author of Chicken Soup for The Soul, says, "I'm very impressed with the level or research Dr. Friedman has done and how he's integrated this information into helping people, including me! With so much confusion and contraindications on what we should and shouldn't be eating, Food Sanity will add more years to your life and life to those years."
