We’re thrilled to announce that Manuscript Success: The Complete Series has received a 2026 APEX Grand Award for Publication Excellence in the Writing Series category.
The APEX Awards recognize excellence in professional communications across writing, publications, design, and digital media. Receiving a Grand Award is a tremendous honor and meaningful recognition of Writer’s Camp’s mission to support nurses as writers, authors, reviewers, and editors.
