LEGENDARY RADIO HOST'S MEMOIR WINS COVETED AWARD
Book proceeds benefit American Cancer Society
The Arizona Book Publishing Association's most prestigious award for excellence in publishing, the Glyph, went to Dave Pratt, Behind the Mic: 30 Years in Radio, written by longtime Valley personality and Arizona Broadcasting Hall of Fame member Dave Pratt, for the "Autobiographies/Biographies/Memoirs" category. Any book produced by an Arizona publisher, written by an Arizona author, written about Arizona or set in Arizona was eligible to enter, making Behind the Mic a winner in a contest known for its tough competition.
"Dave Pratt does an impressive job of making the transition from rock and country star to book author. This is a story that's definitely worth reading." - Robert Stieve, Arizona Highways editor
Occasionally tear-jerking, sometimes funny, always sincere, Behind the Mic takes readers on a ride with the man who morphed from small-town boy to one of radio's most prolific personalities: Pratt, who earned over 100 national and local awards and topped ratings in three formats, describes how he embraced his values in a high-life atmosphere. As compelling as Pratt's rise to fame, however, is his triumphant battle with cancer, which he shares in his memoir, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.
Currently, Pratt "lets his thoughts fly" every morning, Monday through Friday, at www.davepratt.azcentral.com, a website powered by The Arizona Republic.
"The most exciting thing about receiving this honor is that it will generate more funds for the American Cancer Society, which played a key part in my recovery from prostate cancer," says Pratt.
