Multiple books in many categories and various press types are given prizes, "Hoffer" honors, and worldwide media exposure.
Category distinctions were awarded on three levels in descending order: Winner, First Runner-Up, and Notables. The Eric Hoffer Book Award grants a $1,500 annual grand prize and separate distinctions for the best academic, small, and micro press, the best self-published book, and various winners in 14 categories that cover the entire publishing spectrum. Also, the Montaigne Medal is awarded to the most though-provoking books.

Should You Home Stage Without Professional Help?
The purpose of home staging is to emphasize your home's best attributes and sway potential buyers. This can be done with just a few accessories or with a whole house of new furnishings, paint, and accessories.
But can you do it alone? That depends. You must be able to be objective. Staging your home isn't about your own tastes. It is about making the home appealing to the general population. And it isn't really about function. You may use all those products in your tub, but when it comes to selling your home, none of them should be seen.
Whether you go it alone or use a stager, you have to have the attitude that your home is no longer your home. Instead, you must be able to see it as your investment.

Home Staging in a Buyer's Market
This is definitely a buyer's market which means that if you are selling your home, you simply have to make your home stand out from the crowd. The best way to do this is to home stage.
Homes that have been staged are clean, clutter-free, showcase a home's features, and are ready to show to potential buyers. The goal is to create an appealing atmosphere that will make buyers want your home over any other.
You don't want to spend money on a house you are trying to sell? Don't be short-sighted! The first price reduction is far more than the investment of staging! Not to mention the cost of paying your mortgage longer or even having to pay 2 mortgages while you wait for the sale.
