At this time I would like to announce that the reading period for the novel categories of the Spinetingler Awards is now open.
Unofficially the reading period for the Spinetingler Awards is always open, because over the course of the year we make note of the books that we read and enjoyed.
It can’t be stated any simpler than this: in order to make sure that a book is considered, it has to be put in front of us. If you are an editor, a publicist, a press owner, or an author and you want a title considered for the Spinetingler Awards, please contact me. After all, if we have read your book already, you don’t need to send us a copy.
For those who have had more contact with Jay or Damon over the years, it should be noted that you can pass on queries to them, and they will get them to me, or please feel free to contact me directly.

The Spinetingler Awards are given out annually in the mystery and crime fiction community (including those that flirt with it). Nominees pass through a private selection process before the shortlist is announced. The shortlist is put to a public vote, and a winner is selected.
