So, some of you may have already heard about this through Twitter or Instagram, but for those of you who haven’t, today I will be telling you all about BBNYA, which is The Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award!
Everything you need to know:
This is the second annual Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award, in association with The Folio Society & The Write Reads. It is a competition for indie authors (both self-published and published by small indie presses). Exciting, right?
The contest will be judged by a large and diverse panel of book bloggers from all around the world, including myself, and I am so grateful to not only be a part of the panel, but to also be a team leader this year. The panel will put the books through several rounds of judging based off a wide set of criteria. As each round goes by, we will have book bloggers announce the results – until finally we announce our finalists. After further intensive reviewing, we will choose our favourite and declare it the ‘’Book Bloggers Novel of the Year’’!
Our goal is to give underappreciated, lesser known authors a chance to make themselves known without being overshadowed by the big names, but also show the world the power of book bloggers!

Any and all prizes are per novel, not per author. If a novel has more than one writer, they have to share their novel’s prize among themselves. Length (in days) of blogtours are negotiable, the number of bloggers per tour are approximations, actual numbers may vary. Reviews on blogtours are from real people and are honest (i.e some reviews may be negative).
