"The pandemic did not slow down the quality of great books coming from the independent publishing community in 2020. The Finalist selection process this year was one of the hardest our team encountered due to the vast number of excellent submissions," said Victoria Sutherland, publisher.

"While in typical years, the judging process involves our team gathering and discussing books in real time, this year, we had to read separately, take notes, and converge to discuss the entrants after we'd all taken a turn with them on our own. While at first the change was nerve-wracking, we were delighted to discover that we're as much in agreement when the process takes place across miles and weeks as we are when we're sitting face-to-face," says Managing Editor, Michelle Anne Schingler. "We're as confident as ever that these Finalists reflect the best of the books that we've had the privilege of seeing."
