Meet Carol Abrahamson, Founder & CEO, Book Award Mastery: Recognition + Status That Change Everything
As a publishing industry insider since the 1970s, a former book awards judge and multi-award-winner for some of her 42 nonfiction books she’s written to build her businesses around, Carol Abrahamson’s founding of Book Award Mastery is changing the industry’s standards about the essential elements of authors’ book awards pursuits.
The Comprehensive Award Solution
Book Award Mastery is the only comprehensive book awards service (authors’ only complete book awards solution) that goes way beyond the 2 deliverables of the rest of the industry (awards research and submissions support) by including 5 more that focus on authors’ getting real, tangible results from their book and any awards wins while supporting them for all the many months of the typical awards pursuit.
From Executive Team to Industry Leader: Carol’s Journey
Carol’s first book, a decade after leaving McGraw-Hill’s executive team, brought her 1-person business over $2 million in consulting revenues, 106 of America’s largest and most influential companies as clients and industry leader status. A few years later, she wrote a series of training manuals about her corner of the corporate finance world that sold to major corporations worldwide, further enhancing her skills in building a business with a book.
Then in the late 1990s, she decided to reinvent herself and return to her book publishing industry roots by founding Executive Authors to help other authors have the right book for their specific business growth goals, the right business for their book to work its magic on and the right action plan to get noticed by the right part of their market, exactly as she had done.
She also began helping authors find the right and wrong book awards to apply for from the 10,000+ given annually. And she kept writing books that brought her prospects and clients – and applied for some awards herself.
After her industry buddies learned she’d won an astounding 75% of the quality awards she’d applied for, they begged her to reveal her system to their author-clients, knowing the right ones to pursue plus how to make the most of winning. And so, Book Award Mastery was born . . . but with a twist and not like the typical book awards service.
Carol had been telling her exec author clients that an award without a multi-strategy, multi-industry action plan was as useless as a book is without one, so her vision for Book Award Mastery was to go beyond the industry norm of merely researching and applying for awards, to include a concerted focus on achieving author goals and action planning to get real, tangible results from awards pursuits. And that’s the service she offers today to bring authors the high-prestige career boost of book awards.
