Grace Awards~Reader-Driven to Satisfy the Soul
Grace Awards, which celebrates excellence in faith-based fiction written in English, has announced the winners of its 2010 awards!
- (1888PressRelease) May 21, 2011 - New York, New York - Grace-Awards.com announces the winners of the 2010 Excellence in Faith-Based fiction.
The Grace Awards is partly a reader's choice awards in voting for excellence in faith-based fiction written in English. "The purpose of the awards is to expand the scope and readership of Christian fiction," says Nike Chillemi, chair of the organization. "Readers who voted were required to give a reason why they voted for a particular novel. No author, including those judging, was allowed to cast a vote for his or her own novel."
The Grace Awards made every effort to generate reader voting by reaching out to readers on Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads. Votes were counted by a board member who didn't have a book out in 2010. Nominations were accepted between January 21 and March 15, 2011 for books published in 2010. Nominations for the 2011 Grace Awards opens December 31, 2011.
