Quill Awards Nominations Announced
Frist off, you may be wondering what the Quill Awards are; they are a new book award that "will pair a populist sensibility with Hollywood-style glitz and become the first literary prizes to reflect the tastes of the group that matters most in publishing-readers." The awards banquet will be held in October and will be shown on NBC.
There are nineteen categories - ranging from nonfiction to mystery to children's fiction to audiobooks. Each category has five nominations. The nominees were selected by a panel of librarians and booksellers based on starred reviews in Publisher's Weekly, besteller lists, Booksense Picks, Borders Original Voices, and Barnes & Nobel Discover Great New Writers Program.
To top it all off, YOU get to choose the winners. Voting begins on August 15 at Quillsvote.com.
