Raven West is a Third Place winner at The BookFest Awards Spring 2024 for Vashti’s’ Daughter. The book is honored in the Women’s Fantasy category.
The BookFest honors authors who create outstanding works of fiction and nonfiction. The BookFest's mission is rooted in the belief that literature has transformative power and, in a desire to support and celebrate those who create it.
Desireé Duffy, Founder of The BookFest, says, “Today, more than ever, it is important to recognize authors and creatives for the vital part they play in crafting the stories that shape our world and define our humanity. Books bring us to new worlds, take us on adventures, give us a means to evaluate our lives and instill a sense of empathy within us. I believe that by acknowledging authors and their literary achievements, we lift literature in our world, and lift each other in the process.”
West says, "Being selected as a winner of The BookFest Awards is an incredible honor. I am grateful to be recognized for the hard work and dedication that went into creating Vashti’s Daughter. I hope this award will inspire Vashti fans (from the book of Esther) worldwide to pursue their own literary passions."
Desireé Duffy, Founder of The BookFest, says, "I am delighted to announce Raven West as the Third Place winner in the category of Women’s Fantasy fiction at The BookFest Awards. This year's competition was exceptional, and Raven should be very proud of her outstanding accomplishment."
