On the Roof of the Rocky Mountains Shortlisted for Awards

Whoo hoo - it’s awards season!!

The book is up for a variety of regional and national awards. So far, we are shortlisted for the following awards. More to come as announcements are made.

The Foreword Indies, an award that honors the most innovative, creative, and beautiful books published by independent presses and authors. Thousands of books are entered each year, and a panel of over 100 librarians and booksellers take part in the judging, narrowing it down to a group of finalists and winners that represent the best books, all independently published, in 55 categories. Our competition in the Nature category is top notch which means our message is getting noticed! Winners will be announced in June.

Reading the West Book Awards’ 32nd Annual Nonfiction Longlist. The Reading the West Book Awards are sponsored and promoted by the Mountains & Plains Independent Booksellers Association, and honor the best fiction, non-fiction, and illustrated books for adults and children set in one of the states, or created by an author or artist living or working in the region. The awards, given to books published in the previous calendar year, celebrate the rich variety of writing in and about this region, and reflect the extraordinary diversity of the reading public. We are shortlisted in the nonfiction category… again with competition that is truly worthy!
