Award Result
I wasn’t a winner in the 22nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards with my entry but received this comment from the judge:
‘Thomas W. Devine's novel Green Expectations provides readers with a rich story salted with scenes that challenge the characters and the readers and then peppered with New Zealand culture. Anyone who has ever thought about the environment will enjoy this story and the conflict that arises, not only between the separate factions but internally. There are only a couple of things that I think would make this book stronger.’
Entries are evaluated against 6 factors, with a score of 5 meaning “outstanding”.
My entry got three “5’s” and three “4’s”.
The Judge also commented: “The front cover of this book is beautiful and offers a hint of the story theme”. I’m indebted to Andrew Killick for finding the photo and for the cover design.
