Christy Awards Add New Honor for Writers of Color By Ann Byle | Feb 22, 2021
The Evangelical Christian Publishing Association (ECPA) has created an Own Voice Award to honor Christian fiction writers of color as part of The Christy Award program.
Own Voice will recognize books from authors whose topic, setting or characters are based on the author’s own experience as a person of color. The category is another in The Christy Award list of categories including Romance, Suspense, Visionary and six others. Authors must already be entered in one of those other categories to be eligible. The winner will be named at the annual Christy Award gala held in November.
