    LOS ANGELES, CA, October 02, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest featured thousands of contestants from over a dozen countries, ranging from new independent authors to NYT best-sellers and celebrities.

Readers' Favorite is one of the largest book review and award contest sites on the Internet. They have earned the respect of renowned publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Harper Collins, and have received the "Best Websites for Authors" and "Honoring Excellence" awards from the Association of Independent Authors. They are also fully accredited by the BBB (A+ rating), which is a rarity among Book Review and Book Award Contest companies.

We receive thousands of entries from all over the world. Because of these large submission numbers, we are able to break down our contest into 140+ genres, and each genre is judged separately, ensuring that books only compete against books of their same genre for a fairer and more accurate competition. We receive submissions from independent authors, small publishers, and publishing giants such as Random House, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster, with contestants that range from the first-time, self-published author to New York Times bestsellers like J.A. Jance, James Rollins, and #1 best-selling author Daniel Silva, as well as celebrity authors like Jim Carrey (Bruce Almighty), Henry Winkler (Happy Days), and Eriq La Salle (E.R., Coming to America).

"Road to Elysium" by Kay A. Oliver was inspired by a true story. It begins in the midst of his seemingly perfect life, Ken's world shatters with an unexpected tragedy, leaving him broken and adrift in a sea of painful memories. Gripped by sorrow, he resigns himself to a bleak existence, convinced that happiness will forever elude him.

But fate takes an unexpected turn when a group of neighborhood kids decides to rob Ken's home. This fateful event sets in motion a series of events that will change Ken's life in unimaginable ways. It introduces him to Mykel, a young man, through a truly unconventional encounter. In that pivotal moment, Ken makes a profound choice that alters the course of his life.

As Ken and Mykel's friendship blossoms, Ken begins to see something extraordinary in this young man. Slowly, he shifts his focus away from his own self-pity and towards Mykel's potential. Unbeknownst to him, this momentary decision will have far-reaching consequences, impacting countless lives in ways neither of them could have ever foreseen.

Discover the transformative power of an unexpected friendship in this gripping tale of resilience, redemption, and the profound impact of a single choice. Join Ken and Mykel on their extraordinary journey as they find hope, purpose, and new beginnings in the most unlikely of places.
