Add award to my book

[Francine]

I won a silver finalist medal from Sarton Women's Story Circle in 2018, for Memoir. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add it. I had success in adding my Living Now Gold medal in 2019 but it appears I can no longer add any awards. Not a Poster Child was also listed by Kirkus Reviews as one of their Best Books of 2018, and received the Kirkus Star.

Hi Francine
Usually authors can't enter awards. The Living Now award was entered for you by another librarian. :)

Could you send me a link for the Sartons Award, showing that you won?

This is a requirement https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... (you don't need to worry about the link to the book, as long as you mean Not a poster child.

The Kirkus reviews things you mention aren't eligible for the award field. Anything entered there has to have a clear winner.

Carol,

The following email notification, which I received on 3/29/19 is all I have; the 2019 awards are no longer on the Sarton website. They revamped their website and deleted all the old awards, as far as I can tell. All finalists are silver award, and my book was a memoir, so I got the silver/finalist for memoir in 2019 for my 2018 book.

I have the silver seals they sent me and can send you my graphic of that if that works for you. The award is also listed in my metadata by my publisher on Amazon; I do not have access to the metadata so it can only be updated by my publisher.

Hi Francine

As long as this is ok with the moderator of this group, I'll be happy to enter this award for you.

It may take me a couple of days to get back to this because I have just started a project. :)
