November 1, 2011
Announced in Los Angeles, California: GILDED MAGIC PUBLISHING's "Cup Of Glitter" was honored as USA Best Books 2011 Awards Winnng Finalist for Children's Picture Book: Softcover Fiction.
"This is so exciting! To compete alongside industry giants, Simon & Schuster, St. Martin’s Press, Random House, Penguin, Harper Collins (just to name a few), and still become an award winning finalist is not only wonderful but validating. It's been a great experience for both my illustrator / husband and myself and reinforces for us that our story touches the reader and appeals to experts in children's book publishing. Glitter and Dart came to life for me and I hope that they do the same for the children who will join in their adventures." Thank you to all the judges for this recognition.
-Sherry K. Brubaker, Author
"It's thrilling to have received this honor! We believe our readers will have as much fun with Dart and Glitter as I had in illustrating their story. Again congratulations Sherry! Thanks for bringing me along on this wonderful, color-filled journey! We want to especially thank Jeffrey Keen and his team at JPX Media for this opportunity and the judges who have chosen to honor our work with this prestigious recognition. We are very grateful!

May 11, 2011
Announced in Los Angeles, California: GILDED MAGIC PUBLISHING's "Cup Of Glitter" became a 2011 International Book Awards Winning Finalist for Children's Picture Book: Softcover Fiction.
"This is so exciting! I can't wait to introduce Glitter and Dart to kids everywhere! Receiving this award reinforces for me that the story touches the reader and appeals to the experts in the children's book publishing field. Glitter and Dart came to life for me and I hope that they do the same for the children who will join in their adventures."
"Once we found the courage to say,"we can do it!" Sherry and I spent a humbling five years bringing Cup Of Glitter to print. Most of that time spent learning a new and unfamiliar business, brushing up on whatever skills we had as a writer and illustrator and determining the artistic direction we wanted for Sherry's story to come to life.
Though we considered producing the art as a series of 2D illustrations, we eventually decided to take the more risky and expensive approach of providing our readers with an immersive, 3D style of art usually reserved for graphic novels and movie posters. This would require the latest in computer technology, learning a new set of skills in a plethora of unfamiliar software packages and questioning the sanity of our decision.
On May 11th, 2011 we received news that Cup Of Glitter was recognized as an Award Winning Finalist for Children's Picture Book: Softcover Edition in the 2011 International Book Awards
Becoming Award Winning Finalists told Sherry and I that our emphasis on plussing the reader's experience, was working and our efforts were welcomed and recognized by experts in the children's book publishing industry.
We want to thank Jeffrey Keen, the President and CEO of JPX Media Group and his wonderful team for their recognition and honor for Cup Of Glitter. It means more than you can imagine.
We hope our readers will have as much fun with Dart and Glitter as I had in illustrating their story. Congratulations to my best friend and wife, Sherry! I appreciate your bringing me along on this wonderful, colorful journey."
