248 Winners of ForeWord Book of the Year Awards

    

Excessive to a ridiculous degree, the ForeWord Book of the Year Awards announced 248 winners (three or four titles in each of 62 categories), honoring work from academic or independent presses including self-published. The best news is that E.J. Levy won a bronze for the smart, sad, and funny queer story collection Love, in Theory, which I enjoyed as much as Lori Ostlund did in Thebes' annual book poll.
