It's Awards Season!

Hi everyone!

Can you feel it in the air?..... That electric buzz, the kind that only comes with.... trophies! Yes, that's right, it's award season! Bookish organizations all over the place are lining up their nominees and reading through the submissions. Normally, I don't push my eligible works very much - self-promotion is a tricky beast, especially when it comes to awards. It can feel a little awkward. However, I've been told, in no uncertain terms, that it's silly to be shy about putting my best foot forward... so here goes. Here are the upcoming awards, the works we (French Press) have that are eligible for them, and how you can vote:
