LITERARY AWARDS. A few Sundays ago, I watched the Oscars. I don’t think I’ve watched in many years I’ve only gotten the recap the day after on who won. But this year, I sat through and watched intently. It was interesting to see the forerunners won in some cases and be gracious in others. But I think the thing that stuck out the most were the number of people who have been in lighting, sound, sound effects, music, directors and the like win for the first time. There were more than a few gray/white haired experts that took the stage for the first time as a winner or that were nominated. I remember specifically one man who ran his fingers through his silver hair as he spoke saying he’s been in the business for over 50 years and this was his first time nominated and winning.
So, it made me think about authors. How long have some of you been authors and have you ever entered your book in an award contest or even nominated your work for an awards? At the Oscars, the Academy makes the selection and such is the case with most literary awards. But this year I want to motivate and push each of you to select at least one award for which you’ll enter your book or have your book nominated. Do you think your book has what it takes to make the awards list? And I’m going to make it easy for you. Take a look at the short list below of upcoming book awards and check out the requirements for entry. You’ll be surprised at how important what you’ve written is, but also how worthy it is to share with more than just your local market.
Make sure you let us know if you enter and we will surely share it! So, take the action and enter. You can’t be awarded if you don’t enter.
To Your Success,
