Our contest categories continue to evolve based on the entry pool. Jendi and Ellen read significant portions of each shortlisted book, swapped favorites for a full read-through, and had several lively debates at the local brew pub to come up with this year's winners and finalists. Once again, our first-round screening was conducted by literary scholar Annie Keithline and editor and social worker Lauren Singer Ledoux, who presented final judges Jendi Reiter and Ellen LaFleche with a shortlist of about 50 books. We're happy to boost these hard-working authors. The self-publishing market includes many well-written books that entertain and educate. Thanks to everyone who competed for our third annual North Street Book Prize for self-published books of fiction, memoir, and creative nonfiction.
