You’ve heard of the Academy Awards. The Emmys, Tonys, and Golden Globes. But you may not have heard of The Biggest Bow Wow of them all:

The Kimber Awards.

You may not have heard of this prestigious honor. That’s because I, Kimber, just made it up. Just in time for Thanksgiving.

Well, okay. Mom helped. A little. She lobbied for “World’s Most Super Duper, Seriously Splendid, Extra Excellent, Terrifically Talented, Genuine Genius-y, and All-Around Awesome Author Awards.”

I nixed that. After all. Someone has to be the adult in the room. Besides. Mom and I thought that with all this negative COVID-ish talk going around, something upbeat is in order. (Well, okay again. It was mostly me. But Mom helped a bit.)

Where was I? Oh yeah. The Kimber Awards. …

 

Our Highest Award

The Kimber Award is our highest award. It’s reserved for authors who are four paws above the average kennel. They’re not only wonderfully talent authors. They also:

• Go the extra mile to reach out.
• Engage.
• Like and Comment.
• Share links.
• Ask questions.
• Send us those email thingies.
• Let us know when new books are coming out.
• Follow up.
• Say thank you.

These authors actually read and follow our submission guidelines. (You wouldn’t believe how many people don’t, Toots.)

Rare

Yep. Authors who make the cut for a Kimber Award are rare. But they’re good. (Maybe not quite as good as a New York Steak. But let’s not get picky here, okay?)

So, in honor of this upcoming Thanksgiving-y thing, Mom and I wanted to let you know which authors made the Kimber cut for all-around awesomeness. These ten authors qualify as some of our favorite folks on the planet. (If an author photo was not available, we used a book image.)
