Kristin Revere and Alyssa Veneklase are second-place winners of the Fall 2024 The BookFest Awards for the book titled Supported: Your Guide to Birth and Baby. The book is honored in the parenting category.
The BookFest honors authors who create outstanding works of fiction and nonfiction. The BookFest’s mission is rooted in the belief that literature has transformative power and, in a desire to support and celebrate those who create it.
Desireé Duffy, Founder of The BookFest, emphasizes, “Now more than ever, it’s essential to honor authors and creatives for their crucial role in shaping the stories that define our humanity. Books transport us to different worlds, offer new adventures, and allow us to reflect on our own lives while fostering empathy. By celebrating the accomplishments of authors, we elevate literature and, in turn, elevate ourselves.”
Elite Certified Doulas, Kristin Revere and Alyssa Veneklase believe that planning for baby needs more focus than planning a baby shower. The authors share expert insight on topics related to pregnancy prep, building your dream team of support, navigating parental leave, caring for multiples, budgeting for baby, infant feeding, prioritizing sleep, and much more.
“Being selected as a winner of The BookFest Awards is an incredible honor” says Kristin Revere. “We are grateful to be recognized for the hard work and dedication that went into creating Supported. I hope this award will inspire others to pursue their own literary passions.”
