ForeWord's Best First-Fiction Shortlist

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 18, 2012 - Finalists for ForeWord Firsts’ Spring 2012 competition were announced today. ForeWord’s debut fiction competition showcases the best of today’s first-fiction authors.

“Our debut fiction competition spotlights and honors great books that deserve more attention,” said ForeWord Reviews Publisher Victoria Sutherland. “We’re seeing more mysteries, romance, and science fiction titles submitted each quarter—all with strong storylines and solid editing.”

First-fiction titles, published between January-March of 2012, were eligible for judging. Self-published authors and small presses representing debut novelists were invited to submit titles.

ForeWord’s panel of editors reviewed the selection of submitted titles and named the following finalists:
*The Agriculture Hall of Fame by Andrew Malan Milward (978-1-55849-948-5, University of Massachusetts Press)
