Borders Original Voices Nominees

Borders just announced their nominees for their "Original Voices" awards.

"Now in its 13th year, the Original Voices Awards recognize fresh, compelling and ambitious works from the new and emerging talents of 2008 in fiction, non-fiction, young adult/independent reader and children's picture books."

Here are the nominees in all categories.

Hannah Tinti's The Good Thief is on the list. I wrote about how much I enjoyed this novel here. And a few other titles are already on my to-read shelf.

This award has launched the careers of many writers. This is a reliably good measure of up and coming authors.
