Indie Lit Awards — Short Lists
The Short Lists are up for the Independent Literary Awards! Thanks so much to all the judges and panelists for all of their hard work, and to all the book bloggers out there who took the time to nominate and recognize their favorite books and authors of 2010. Over the course of the next several weeks, the panelists and judges will be reading the books on their list and voting to choose the winner for each category. We are hoping the winners will be able to be announced February 1, 2011. Until then, if you need something new to read, you now have lists for four genres worth of the best of the best of 2010 (according to book bloggers across the Internet). Also, if you are a book blogger (who is not part of the publishing world) and you notice a genre missing that you would like to represent for the 2011 awards, leave a comment here (with the genre that you would be interesting in judging or sitting on the panel for).
