What is it about?

In its inaugural year, the AmericanWritingAwards.com "Sports Book of the Year" award is dedicated to rewarding excellence in sports writing. An esteemed team of judges made up of media members, professional athletes, college professors, and hall of fame coaches choose 1st Place and Runner-Up winners--American Writing Awards judges reserve the right to award multiple 1st Place or Runner-Up winners if they believe more than one piece of work merits recognition.  Winners are announced in early December 2022.


Who is eligible to apply?

Any Sports Writer between the ages of 18-120 can enter their book. All books of sport published between 2020-2023 are allowed entry. If you have questions as to whether your book qualifies as a "Sports Book,"  email us @ info@americanwritingawards.com. The deadline to enter is October 25, 2022. Entries must have a publication date between 2020-2023. Academic, commercial, small press, self-published books, and unpublished manuscripts are all accepted. Electronic submission is the only form of submission. Entries are judged based on multiple writing criteria, which include an author's story-telling ability, transitions, hooks, pacing, character development, dialogue, grammar, punctuation, storyline, and the overall impact it has on our judges. Check the entry form for more details.
