Shane Svorec’s dreams are coming true. She was honored this past weekend in Dublin, OH for her literary success and was chosen as a recipient of an Honorary Author Elite Award. “Five years ago we launched an experiment called the annual Author Elite Awards. In the process we’ve attracted many of the best authors in the world,” said Kary Oberbrunner, founder of Igniting Souls and the Author Elite Awards. “Our goal is to celebrate a force that creates life change in our society—books and the authors who write them. In our noisy world, books offer a unique appeal—the ability to lose ourselves in a story. Nothing else provides such transcendence.”
The author of Broken Little Believer and The Busy Bridge That Got Its Break, Svorec thanked her family, friends, and fans for continuing to encourage and support her and her work. A truth-teller, positive culture influencer, and community builder, Svorec writes about real-life challenges with empathy and relatability while giving readers hope.
Broken Little Believer, an inspirational story about a journey, takes readers on an unforgettable road trip that offers a positive perspective and opportunities for self-reflection. Her newest book, The Busy Bridge That Got Its Break, is a tribute to the original Tappan Zee Bridge and includes many lessons, including awareness of the world around us, the circumstances of fellow travelers, and how to preserve history, protect our future, and appreciate the present.
After receiving an Honorary Author Elite Award, later that very same weekend, Svorec received an email congratulating her for winning an award in the 2022 Fall BookFest Awards. To her surprise, Svorec’s books took home the following awards (separate from her Author Elite Award):
