Young Adult Book Award Programs

The following are a few of the awards given out to young adult books and authors every year. If you find out about others, please let me know and I will add them to this page. The following list was sent to me courtesy of Jeff Rivera, author of Forever My Lady. Email John Kremer at: JohnKremer@bookmarket.com.

Why go for awards? Because they will help you sell books. As five-time RITA award-winning author Jo Beverley noted, “Whenever you win, it makes it easier to sell your work.” Similarly Leslie Wagner, senior editor at Silhouette, uses the designation ‘RITA Award-winning author’ on covers whenever she can because “It's one other piece that makes the books stand out in a crowded marketplace.”
