Indiana Authors Awards powered by Indiana Humanities

Celebrating the storytellers who shape Indiana’s literary landscape is a responsibility we’re honored to share. Calhoun Creative Consulting has supported both the 2022 and 2024 seasons of the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Awards, powered by Indiana Humanities, by producing a series of award announcement videos. Over two months, we create four videos that highlight the Literary Champion, Literary Achievement, and category announcements (both long and short).

Our work involves traveling across Indiana to interview 12 to 15 individuals, capturing the heartfelt stories behind the storytellers. This collaborative process reflects the magic of the awards, fitting seamlessly into Indiana Humanities’ vision. From directing on-location shoots to managing a team of specialists—including a director of photography, audio editors, colorists, and animators—we craft polished and engaging visuals that celebrate literary excellence. The result is a storytelling experience that honors the rich tapestry of Indiana’s literary community.
