Honors for authors
Book awards are honors given to recognize excellence in writing, publishing, or literary achievement.
Major awards like the Pulitzer Prize, Booker Prize, and National Book Award can dramatically boost sales and establish an author's reputation.
Some awards honor specific genres, debut novels, or underrepresented voices, while others recognize lifetime achievement.
