Today the voting opens for the Galaxy British Book Awards. This is like the Oscars of the British book publishing industry, but the voting is done by you, the readers. The winners of the Galaxy British Book Awards receive a Nibbie, an Oscar-like golden ornament shaped like a giant pen nib which could also double as an intriguing murder weapon, come to think of it…
I’m very excited to tell you that I’ve been shortlisted for the Crimewriter Of The Year prize for Looking Good Dead at this year’s Awards. If you enjoyed the book, I would be very grateful if you would vote for me on the Galaxy British Book Awards website. All you have to do is go to www.galaxybritishbookawards.com/ and follow the “Vote now” link in the left hand column to place your vote. It takes a few seconds and is completely free.
The voting opens today and runs through until March 26th. If you could find the time to go and vote for me, I’d greatly appreciate it! And encourage family, friends, office colleagues to vote too – every vote helps!!! The Galaxy British Book Awards ceremony itself will be hosted by Richard and Judy, and will be televised on Friday March 30th at 8pm on Channel Four.
