Book Awards for Literature

Several organizations meet every year to determine which authors will receive book awards. An award can catapult an author's career making her or him a star overnight.

An award can dramatically increase the value of a book ... and will usually have a positive impact on the author's earlier books.

Awards are usually given in several different categories:

Best novel, best first novel, best paperback original, best non-fiction, best short story, etc.

We are listing the award winners for only the best novel and best first novel (if there is one). We focus on these authors when deciding what to buy.

However, attention should be paid to the other categories ... and also to the authors who were nominated but didn't win. This says that these authors have been recognized as good writers.

They may be the award winner next year.


Click on the following links to check out past awards (going back to 1975):
