Announcement: BBNYA 2024 SSF Insiders Panelists
BBNYA, the Book Bloggers Novel of the Year Award, is a competition for indie authors (both self-published and published by small indie presses).
The contest will be judged by a large and diverse panel of book bloggers from all around the world. The panel will put the books through several rounds of judging based on a wide set of criteria. As each round goes by, we will announce the results - until finally, we arrive at our finalists. After further intensive reviewing, we will choose our favorite and declare it the ‘’Book Bloggers Novel of the Year’’!
Our goal is to give underappreciated, lesser-known authors a chance to gain some recognition without being overshadowed by the big names, but also show the world the power of book bloggers!
The winning author will receive a whole bunch of prizes, as well as the honour, recognition, and vindication of being our winner and the endorsement of book bloggers.
We're thrilled to announce that our SFF Insiders team members Jordan Buxton & Julianna Caro will be serving as panelists for #BBNYA24
Jordan, AKA Jord, tries to stay positive in everything that he does. Always having a love for reading, his biggest fear is to not be reading a book. A fan of many genres, he has always found a love for fantasy and Sci Fi from a young age. Loves to support authors and readers alike, he finds joy in sharing his love of books with others. He can be found in the Middle of Nowhere, Idaho with his wife and kids. They are often chasing the dogs around the yard. He is also a fan of basketball, especially the Celtics, video games and movies.
Julianna is a queer Canadian BookTuber, Bookstagrammer, and SFF Writer. She reads most genres but Hard Sci-Fi, Folk, Gothic, and Weird Fiction/Fantasy have her heart. She also adores a clever retelling and eldritch nightmares. Julianna works for Canada's major bookstore chain and works specifically with local/indie authors to get their books into stores. When not reading and writing, she can be found out in the wilderness with her AAA-game-dev partner and their German Shepherd.
