SibylM (sibyldiane) | 27 comments Hi there, I am wondering how to indicate a book won an award in one category and was a nominee/shortlist etc. for the same award but in a different category. For example, if the same book received:
Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography (2018) and Los Angeles Times Book Prize Nominee for Nonfiction (2018).
Every way I try to do it, it ends up deleting one of the awards. I think because the program is set up for each award to be either a nominee or a winner but not both? If there is any way to do this, I would be grateful for advice on how. Thanks!

You should enter it this way:

Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography and Nominee for Nonfiction (2018).

You will need to do it in two steps. You can enter the winner as usual and then edit to add the "and Nominee, etc." Do not change the tick box, so that it appears on the award page with the winners.

Not correct. You can see nominees on many many books. (In fact more than are winners.)
