WINS 2021 INDIEREADER DISCOVERY AWARD FOR WOMEN’S ISSUES

JUNE, 3, 2021, – On Thursday June 3rd, IndieReader, one of the original review services for self, hybrid and independently published authors, announced the winners of the tenth annual IR Discovery Awards (IRDAs) for 2021. Death by Chaos by Renaii West won in the Women’s Issues category.

IndieReader launched the IRDAs in 2011 to help notable indie authors receive the attention of top publishing professionals, with the goal of reaching more readers. Noted Amy Edelman, author and founder of IR, “The books that won the IRDAs this year are not simply great indie books; they are great books, period. We hope that our efforts via the IRDAs ensure that they receive attention from the people who matter most. Potential readers.”

Past and present sponsors for the IRDAs include Amazon, Reedsy, Smith Publicity and NY-based literary agents Dystel, Goderich & Bourret. Judges have included publishers (from Penguin Group USA and Simon & Schuster), agents (from ICM, Dystel), publicists (from Smith Publicity), and bloggers (from GoodeReader).

Renaii West’s fast-paced novel is a unique, compelling mix of upbeat female characters, women’s issues and a grisly mystery. Death by Chaos is available through Amazon.

“I am honored by this recognition and award. I am thankful for the assistance and support IndieReader provides independent authors.” Renaii West.
