FOREWARD MAGAZINE ANNOUNCES
FINALISTS
IN THE EIGHTH ANNUAL
BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS

ForeWord Magazine is pleased to announce SOUTHERN FRIED WOMEN as a finalist in the eighth annual Book of the Year Awards. This book represents some of the best work coming from today's independent press community.

Nearly 1,400 books were entered in 59 categories. A panel of librarians and booksellers, selected from our readership, will determine the winners. ForeWord's Book of the Year Awards program was designed specifically for them to share in the process of discovering distinctive books across a number of genres with judgments based on their own authority in each category and on their patron/customer interests.

Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners, as well as Editor's Choice Prizes for Fiction and Nonfiction will be announced at a special program at BookExpo America at the Javits Center in New York City, June 1st from 2:30pm at LIVE@ Second Stage located on the main show floor. The winners of the two Editor's Choice Prizes will be awarded $1,500 each. Please visit our Web site at http://www.forewordmagazine.com/botya to view the complete list of finalists.
