 The Oberon Stone Shortlisted as a Finalist for the 2024 Wishing Shelf Book Awards!



📢 Exciting news from the Conjurer’s Prophecy team! 📢

We are beyond thrilled to announce that The Oberon Stone has been shortlisted as a finalist for the 2024 Wishing Shelf Book Awards in the UK! This recognition is an incredible honor, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this milestone with our readers and supporters.

A Prestigious Reader-Focused Award

For those unfamiliar with the Wishing Shelf Book Awards, it is one of the most respected book awards in the indie publishing world. Unlike many competitions judged by industry professionals alone, the Wishing Shelf Awards puts books directly in the hands of real readers—adults and children who carefully assess each book for its storytelling, engagement, and impact.

What makes this award stand out is its genuine, reader-driven approach. The books are evaluated by panels of real book lovers who look beyond just technical writing skill and focus on the magic that truly makes a story unforgettable. To be named a finalist means The Oberon Stone has resonated deeply with its readers, and that is the most rewarding recognition any author can receive.

Our First Award Entry—And Already a Finalist!

What makes this moment even more special is that this is the very first award we have ever entered—and we have already secured a place among the finalists!

That’s right—when we decided to enroll The Oberon Stone into the competition, it was a leap of faith. The indie publishing world is fiercely competitive, and earning recognition, especially on an international level, is no easy feat. To have our work acknowledged on our first attempt is both humbling and exhilarating. It validates the passion, dedication, and effort that have gone into crafting this thrilling adventure.

A Hard-Fought Journey to the Finals

The road to the finalist list is far from easy. Hundreds of books are submitted each year, each one bringing something unique and compelling. The judging process is rigorous, involving months of reading, discussions, and evaluations by diverse reader panels. Each book must stand out not just for its writing but for its ability to captivate and immerse readers in its world.

For The Oberon Stone, a fast-paced, multi-perspective adventure, to make it through this process and emerge as a finalist is a testament to the power of its story. It tells us that readers were hooked, that they connected with the characters, and that they felt the thrill of the journey from start to finish.

Winners Announced April 1, 2024

Now, the countdown begins! The winners of the 2024 Wishing Shelf Book Awards will be announced on April 1, 2024, and we are eagerly waiting to see what happens next. But no matter the outcome, this finalist placement is already a huge victory. It’s a sign that The Oberon Stone has made its mark, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support from our readers.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To everyone who has joined us on this journey—thank you. Your enthusiasm, reviews, and encouragement have fueled our passion every step of the way. This recognition isn’t just for The Oberon Stone—it’s for all of you who have believed in the world we’ve created.

So, here’s to adventure, to perseverance, and to the magic of storytelling! 🏆✨

Stay tuned for updates as we approach the final announcement in April. No matter what happens next, this is only the beginning!
