Award-Winning Historical Fiction Featured in LibraryBub Selection for December

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- R.J. Lee recognizes that "writing historical fiction is among the most difficult literary challenges." "If approached correctly", however, "it can be both rewarding and enlightening". Essential to success in his view is "research, research, research". In Evy Journey's novel The Golden Manuscripts, she "expertly blends well-crafted romance and high-stakes adventure". The Self-Publishing Review commends her meticulous approach, noting that she "spares no detail, from theft and provenance to forgers and the cutthroat world of high-art collecting. The level of research... is impressive. The book was awarded a silver medal in the Global Book Awards and was a finalist in both the International Book Awards and the Self-Publishing Review Awards.

LibraryBub is an industry first. Established in 2015, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. It is dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Author and illustrator Jeff Mack remembers going "to the library with my grandmother, usually on the weekends, and we would come home with a whole stack of books — lots of books about Dracula and Frankenstein and the mummy. And I would sit and practice drawing the monsters that I saw in those books." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.

"I'm a British fantasy author and so have no way to connect to American libraries,"  says LibraryBub author Rosemary A. Johns. "After LibraryBub's mailing, over a thousand librarians clicked through to my book… I spent my teenage years avidly borrowing books from libraries or curled up in the corner of one; being able to share my books in libraries (as well as bookstores and online) is something I'm passionate about. This service made that possible in a big way."
