Writer. Contributing Editor at The Discarded Image. Digital Content Strategist. Here's where I publicly explore the books I'm reading, the projects I'm working on, and other current interests. Indie Lit Award winners announced
“Think that book bloggers are just a bunch of loners, typing away in obscurity? Think again. They have clout, and they have smarts. And to prove it, they have just announced the winners of the first annual Indie Lit Awards, and they are stellar.”  So announced the Minneapolis Star Tribune, celebrating a win by one of their native sons, Peter Geye, whose novel Safe from the Sea took first in the fiction category.  I told you it was good! Congrats to Peter and his publisher, Unbridled Books.
And congrats to the dedicated bloggers who inaugurated the Indie Lit Awards. Â Winners always say that the “people’s choice” awards are the best kind, and in this case the people are really smart readers. Â Lit and book blogging has changed a lot over the 5+ years since I started this review blog, and I’m thrilled to see how many blogging readers have become independent voices that together carry on a vibrant conversation about literature. Â I can’t wait to nominate some books for the 2011 awards!
