The National Book Award

Nominated: As Far as You Can Go Before You Have to Come Back

I would love to report that the nomination was the happy result of pure circumstance. However, I supplied my publisher with a list of every prize I wanted to be nominated for, the links, the requirements, and the due dates. Still, my sense is that at a Big 5 press, I could have provided my head off and the nom still would have gone to a name author. Let’s hear it for the mid-sized press!

PS. As Far as You Can Go Before You Have to Come Back is a #Goodreads Giveaway book for six more days.
