Responsabilidad Solidaria: Cómo mejorar el rendimiento laboral por medio del apoyo by Sylvia Melena won the Silver Medal for the Best Self Transformation Book – Spanish and the Bronze Medal for the Best Nonfiction Book Translation – English to Spanish.
As an independent author and publisher, it’s an honor to be recognized by the 2023 International Latino Book Awards, given the caliber of the other publishing houses that won awards, such as Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Scholastic Books, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, the American Psychological Association, and many more.

“I strive to write, publish, and contribute to trade-quality business books that clients and readers will enjoy and leverage for transformation,” commented Sylvia Melena. “My parents, who were Mexican immigrants and are no longer with us, would have been proud to see how their hard work and sacrifices gave a much-needed boost to the next generation.”
Empowering Latino Futures attested, “This year Empowering Latino Futures received a 19-percent increase in entries over the previous record high. This is another sign of the GREAT quality of books for, by and about Latinos that are being produced. This year’s 221 judges were a tremendous help in this process. These professors, librarians, educators, journalists, members of REFORMA and Las Comadres, and people who love and appreciate good books were busy reviewing all the entries.”
