This is part of my ongoing series on using Awards Lists as a RA tool. Click here for all posts in the series in reverse chronological order. Click here for the first post which outlines the details how to use awards lists as a RA tool.
It's a busy awards announcement week.
January 25, 2021, New York, NY - Mystery Writers of America is proud to announce, as we celebrate the 212th anniversary of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe, the nominees for the 2021 Edgar Allan Poe Awards, honoring the best in mystery fiction, non-fiction and television published or produced in 2020. The 75th Annual Edgar® Awards will be celebrated on April 29, 2021.
Remember this award includes media [tv/film], YA, and nonfiction [including a separate true crime award!], as well as general adult fiction awards.
Also, the Mary Higgins Clark Award is one of my favorite straight up readalike awards. The award is literally for books that are similar to Clark's. And now there is one for Sue Grafton-esque titles too!
Click through to see the current nominees and click here for their excellent historical database of all nominees and winners, which you can sort by award. Again, this is super helpful especially for readalikes for fans of Mary Higgins Clark or Sue Grafton.
And a reminder again, I have a much longer post on exactly why the nominees lists in particular make for such an excellent tool to help us help leisure readers. If you have never read it, or haven't in a while, check it out for general tips and tricks to use for any award announcement.
