The Christy Awards
From the site:
History
In the spring of 1999, nearly a dozen Christian publishers confirmed the need for establishing a Christian fiction award to recognize novelists and novels of excellence in several genres of Christian fiction. By late summer, ideas and planning had come together to launch The Christy Award, named in honor of Catherine Marshall’s novel and of her contribution to growth of the fiction Christians love to read.
The Christy Award is designed to:
- Nurture and encourage creativity and quality in the writing and publishing of fiction written from a Christian worldview.
- Bring a new awareness of the breadth and depth of fiction choices available, helping to broaden the readership.
- Provide opportunity to recognize novelists whose work may not have reached bestseller status.
Last November my book was submitted for this prestigous award. About a month ago, having given it no prior thought, I had a dream which I actually remembered upon waking up (a rare event for me) that I had won this award. i told my husband, Michael about (just in case).
A week later, we get Chinese food with the usual fortune cookie and I had this weird feeling that the fortune I got was going to be special. This is what my fortune cookie message said:
“You will be honored with a prestigious prize or award”
The nominees will be announced on April 30th. Dare I even hope?
