Casting into Mystery has been acknowledged by the 2021 Independent Publisher Book Awards with a silver medal.

The angling memoir written by Robert Reid, with engravings by Wesley W. Bates, was published in 2020 by Porcupine’s Quill.

‘We are honoured to be recognized in a literary contest that spans the globe,’ Reid said. ‘It’s rewarding to receive recognition from people who are knowledgeable about and devoted to book publishing, especially during these challenging times.’

Founded in 1996, the Independent Publisher Book Awards is a broad-based, unaffiliated awards program open to the English-speaking independent publishing industry spanning the globe.

The awards are presented each spring by the publishing services firm of Jenkins Group of Traverse City, Michigan and www.IndependentPublisher.com
