New York Times best-selling author and originator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and The Success Secret will be presented with a distinguished honor at the National Academy of Best-Selling Authors Awards Gala in Hollywood, California.

Orlando, FL – September 24, 2012 – The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors is proud to announce Jack Canfield as the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at its Third Annual Awards Gala. The event will be held in conjunction with a Thought Leaders Summit at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, CA on September 26-29, 2012.

The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ was established to recognize authors for their accomplishments.  It was founded on the principle that only a very limited number of books make the major Best-Seller lists like the New York Times Best-Seller list, but just like the awards shows put on by the entertainment-based organizations, the Academy wanted to have more categories for authors to be accepted and recognized for their accomplishment. The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ now honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists as well as the major Best-Seller lists.

Called the “publishing phenomenon of the decade” by TIME Magazine, Mr. Canfield has made record achievements in the publishing industry and has become a well-known entrepreneur in many circles. Founder, CEO, Chairman, and America’s #1 Success Coach are just a few titles that have been earned by the honoree in addition to his Best-Seller designation.

In addition to his recognition by the National Academy of Best-Selling Authors with the Lifetime Achievement Award, Jack has previously received other distinguished accolades such as the American Booksellers Book of the Year Award and the Southern California Book Publicist Award.
