American Christian Fiction Writers on CBD’s Website
October 4, 2007
The Saturday night awards banquet at the ACFW conference was really something special. After an incredible steak and a super-rich chocolate dessert very few of us could finish (rats), there were two straight hours of awards.
Of course there was the Genesis contest of which I was a part of, but there were also awards for Book of the Year based on different categories — suspense, romance, historical, etc.
I told my husband that I’d never seen an organization that did a great job of blending industry professionals with those like me who are hoping to become the next industry professionals. The winners of one category after another received their awards and gave their short thank-you speeches just like those award shows on TV that I never watch. But it was fun to see people I’ve read be honored for their work and become emotional at receiving a Book of the Year award.
And now CBD has a webpage that shows all the books that placed and won in each of their categories. It also lists all the unpubbed writers who placed and won in the Genesis contest. If you’d like to check it out, here’s the link.

Sally, I haven’t commented recently, but it sounds like you had a fabulous time in Dallas. Even though you didn’t win an award, I’m sure the whole experience will be beneficial to your writing career.
Hope all else is going well in KC.
Christian writers are the most awesome group of people around! I’m sure of it!
That is so awesome that they published the Genesis winners, too!
