DAN MCDOWELL RECEIVES GOLD MEDAL, READERS' FAVORITE AWARDS, 2022
Horror/Psychological Thriller Author, Dan McDowell, was the 2022 Gold Medal Recipient for the Readers' Favorite (RF) Award in the Fiction/Horror category with his third release, Pool Man. He traveled to Miami, Florida, in November 2022 joining a slew of other authors and their families to commemorate RF's return to the live presentation format after a three-year hiatus halted by COVID-19.
The international writing contest featured thousands of entries from dozens of countries and offered both independent and traditionally published authors a unique opportunity to compete in a shared marketplace of talent, skill, and writing technique.
A word from Dan: "I am honored and flattered by the outpouring of support, encouragement, feedback, and critique I've received from readers, authors, editors, friends, and family as I've trekked along on this writing journey. Each of you are a pivotal influence, and it goes without saying that you make all the difference. Thank you!"
