A month ago, I invited readers to be judges in the New England Readers’ Choice Awards.
The contest is now open, and I’m inviting authors to enter their works.
Following is the invitation from the New England Romance Writers, of which organization I am a proud member and have been for many years.
~~~~~~~
Welcome to the 2024 New England Readers’ Choice Awards contest for published authors, recognizing excellence in published romance fiction. Sponsored by New England Romance Writers, the NERCA contest is one of the few judged exclusively by fans: librarians, booksellers, and devoted romance readers.
This year, the grand prize winner of the New England Readers’ Choice contest will receive admission to Write Better Faster 101, offered by Becca Syme and Better-Faster Academy! The first, second, and third place winners in each category will receive a web badge, as well as a printed award certificate. Winners will be announced on the NERW website and on NERW’s social media accounts. Questions? Please contact contest@nerw.org.
