Words from Our Celebrated Authors
"I thank the judges and team Able publishing for this wonderful honour. Winning a gold award in the ‘Best Book Series’ category was a truly humbling moment. The expo and awards give authors a solid platform to share their work and have it judged. The nomination and interview process was exciting and the gala awards was the perfect celebratory end to this eventful journey. I can’t wait for the next opportunity to submit another genre of my work. Thank you for the great work you do for the writing community and the support and encouragement you extend to authors!"

"Winning the ABLE award in the digital category is one of many stepstones for me in many milestones to come. It represents an opportunity for women to be inspired being part of the technical world. Since 2009, I have been a human-machine activist. The ABLE award and the organisation behind become part of my long fight. I am deeply grateful for the thoughts of the Juries about my AI book and the connection which the ABLE award ceremony has created for me. A one-life connection with many book authors and the people behind the organisation."

Author of Some Families Change
2024 ABLE Golden Book Awards Winner (Children's Book Illustrated - Silver)
“Being the first award I’ve received for writing, it has been very validating. Writing alone without much feedback, made it difficult to know if my writing was any good. The feedback of the judges makes all the effort over the years worthwhile. I feel at last that I’m not wasting my time writing stories. That's perhaps the biggest outcome, that I feel encouraged to continue when I was actually close to giving up. Thanks for saving my career!”

Peter Ball
Author of The Winged Serpent of Time
2024 ABLE Golden Book Awards Winner (Best Fiction - Gold)
"Nominating my book at the ABLE Golden Book Award is like a blind audition, and winning Gold under the category Education solidifies my work and recognition of the support in Neurodiversity community. Everyone has a story to tell and don't let anyone stop you from writing one."
