About

The Burnt Ones: Literary Awards News is your one-stop online source for the latest in the world of literary awards and prizes.

All major literary awards from all literary genres are reported here as soon as they are awarded, and whenever possible, short descriptions of the works, accompanied by relevant bookstore links, are provided.

Although literary awards and literary prizes do not necessarily have to dictate your personal preference of the type of fiction, poetry or drama you would like to read, knowing which literary works are currently most valued by literary critics can be helpful when choosing your next book.
