2023We are thrilled to share that Byron Graves, a client of AKA Literary Management represented by Terrie Wolf, has been named a finalist for the prestigious 2025 Amelia Elizabeth Walden Award for his debut novel, Rez Ball(Heartdrum/HarperCollins).
Selected from over 300 titles submitted for consideration, Rez Ball stands out for its powerful storytelling, cultural depth, and emotional resonance—perfectly aligning with the Walden Award’s mission to honor books that demonstrate literary excellence, widespread teen appeal, and a positive approach to life.
Graves joins a remarkable list of finalists, and the winner and honorees will be celebrated at the 2025 ALAN Workshop on Monday, November 24, 2025, in Denver, Colorado, where authors will take part in a special panel discussion.
