SEBASTIAN — Laura Steward Atchison, author of the international bestselling book “What Would a Wise Woman Do?” has received the 2014 Silver Nautilus Award for the women’s category in international publishing.
The Nautilus Award highlights “Better Books for a Better World.” Now in its 15th year, the unique book award program represents prestige with authors and publishers around the world as it recognizes outstanding authors of well-written and produced books with messages of caring for, understanding, and improving every aspect of our lives and relationships.
Especially important are the literary contributions to spiritual growth, conscious living, high-level wellness, green values, responsible leadership and positive social change, as well as to the worlds of art, creativity and inspiration.
“The fact that the awards committee felt that my book makes a difference and needs to be heard is humbling,” said Atchison. “This award supports the message in my book that asking the right questions gives us the right answers. In other words, we must ask questions to get the answers we need, not just the answers we want.”
The author holds a Master’s degree in Management from Polytechnic University, NYU, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from New York Institute of Technology.
