What budding author wouldn’t love to win the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.
Alan Averill (no author profile on site yet, so I don’t know anything about him, a major faux par in my book) won the general fiction prize with his novel The Beautiful Land. So it won a breakthrough award. Want to know what the novel is about?
Reading the blurbs on Amazon, it has a boy meets girl plot, throw in a time machine, a depressed television host, an impending annihilation, a mysterious corporation and a last chance at redemption.
The blurb also says it’s a sci-fi novel for people who don’t read science fiction. I like that!
The grand prize is a $15,000 advance from Penguin and a publishing contract, I love that too!
The winners were selected by a panel consisting of authors, editors and agents but ultimately, it was Amazon customers who voted for the winners.
