As I said in an earlier blog, I am going to try to make my way through all of the awards that are presented to mystery authors and their books…….. There are many more than I was aware of!<\/p>\n
Today, I am writing about the Edgar Allan Poe Awards, or the more commonly called "Edgar Awards." They are awarded by the Mystery Writers of America, for works in several different mystery genres.<\/p>\n
The different categories are : Best Novel, Best First Novel, Paperback Original, Biographical\/Critical Fact Crime, Young Adult, Juvenile, Best Short Story, Motion Picture Screenplay, Play\/TV Episode\/Teleplay, the Robert L. Fish Memorial, the Raven Award, the Mary Higgins Clark Award, and the Grand Master Award.<\/p>\n
The Awards are presented in April of each year, and are for works that were published the previous year. I am just finding all of the winners and nominees, and by the looks of it, it is going to take me a while to get them all listed on the awards page. I will, however, get it done…. eventually… The awards go back as far as 1946!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
