At this time I would like to announce that the reading period for the novel, short fiction, and comic/graphic novel categories of the 2011 Spinetingler Awards are now open.
Check out all of the information after the jump.
Unofficially the reading period for the Spinetingler Awards is always open, over the course of the year we make note of the books that we received, read and enjoyed.
It can’t be stated any simpler than this: in order to make sure that a book is considered, it has to be put in front of us. If you are an editor, a publicist, a press owner, or an author and you want a title considered for the Spinetingler Awards, please contact me. After all, if we have read your book already, you don’t need to send us another copy. A look at past nominees and winners will show that we consider as wide a range of mystery and crime books as possible. So take a chance and make sure your book is considered.
The Spinetingler Awards are given out annually in the mystery and crime fiction community. Books pass through a private selection process before the shortlist is announced. The shortlist is put to a public vote, and a winner is selected. Over four thousand votes were cast in last year’s award.
Further information about the awards can be found up there at the top of the site.
There are five book categories for titles published in 2010:
-“New Voice” for authors that have published three or less books
-“Rising Star” for authors that have published four through eight books
-“Legends” for authors that have published nine or more books
-Individual author short story collection & Anthologies
-Comic Books and Graphic Novels
If you would like to inquire about a title please feel free to contact us at blindenmuth AT GEE mail DOT com or Spinetinglermag AT GEE mail DOT com
