I’m excited to announce that this year I will be a panelist for the Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award. Below is a description of the BBNYA from their website:
“BBNYA, the Book Bloggers Novel of the Year Award, is a competition for indie authors (both self-published and published by small indie presses).
The contest will be judged by a large and diverse panel of book bloggers from all around the world. The panel will put the books through several rounds of judging based on a wide set of criteria. As each round goes by, we will announce the results – until finally, we arrive at our finalists. After further intensive reviewing, we will choose our favorite and declare it the ‘’Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year!”
Our goal is to give underappreciated, lesser-known authors a chance to gain some recognition without being overshadowed by the big names, but also show the world the power of book bloggers!
The winning author will receive a whole bunch of prizes, as well as the honor, recognition, and vindication of being our winner, and the endorsement of book bloggers.”
There is still time for authors to enter the competition and for bloggers to sign up as panelists.
For authors, your book has to have been published at any time prior to January 1, 2023 and if it’s a series it has to be the first book in the series. There are other requirements. The full list is here.
I hope the authors here consider entering, and the bloggers check out signing up as a panelist, if you haven’t already.

Congratulations Bonnie for being a panelist!! That’s wonderful and exciting and I know you will enjoy it. 😊
