The Nancy Pearl Book Award recognizes outstanding published works in literary fiction, non-fiction, and genre fiction by authors residing in the Pacific Northwest. We are thrilled to welcome the three Nancy Pearl Award finalists in literary fiction: Alle C. Hall for As Far as You Can Go Before You Have to Come Back, Irma Fritz for When There Was No Moon, and winner Rebecca Holbrook for Omie’s Well.  

We had the pleasure of meeting these authors at the Pacific Northwest Writer’s Association conference back in September, and we have no doubt that their enthusiasm and passion for writing will shine through during their readings and conversation.
