The teams independently picked winners. Each step in the process was removed and separated from the next step, to insure impartiality. From that point on there was no contact between the judging teams and the Chair of the Board, except for administrative issues. After the nominations were counted, finaling titles were given to our judging teams. Readers nominated (via email) the finalists in six categories. In addition, we’ve tried to use, if you will, a separation of powers in choosing our winners. This year we had an array of widely diverse judges (multi-published authors, first time published authors, writers who specialize in areas of publishing other than fiction, a pastor, and in YA for the second year we had a youth expert who has an extremely popular family and educational blog). The Grace Awards, a reader driven awards and the most democratic awards in Christian fiction, now in its fourth year, is very proud to announce its 2013 WINNERS.
