Can an author nominate their own book?

Yes, we’re planning a 2010 award. I thought the Readers’ Choice went very well. I was just thinking this morning that we need to formulate a schedule and time line–when we’ll open nominations, start the voting, etc.
I should have that information up soon.

Hi, Elizabeth. Thanks for your question. While I have hopes of keeping the award alive, unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be able to offer a 2011 winner. I’ve been holding off making the announcement but should probably do that and make it official.
