Hello Paul, congrats on the honor!  If I knew they were having the awards I would have attended.  Can you post a link to the Harlem Book Fair site so that I can get a list of all the nominees.  I'll make sure I'l update the site to reflect all of the books that have been honored for 2017.  I have just updated your book: https://aalbc.com/books/bookinfo.php?isbn13=9780692741764 Please let me know if you win.  I'll be sure to mention it in my July Newsletter!

 

I also added a prominent buy link to your website.

Thanks Troy. Their site still lists the 2016 honorees. In the notification I received, they said all selected titles will be announced via Their newsletter following the book fair. Thanks for the update you made (one minor nit: it is First Nonfiction)

I've corrected the site: https://aalbc.com/books/pw-award-winning-books.php?year=2017  Keep me posted.
