Dear Authors and Publishers:

The Eric Hoffer Award season has arrived. Here is the award announcement schedule for 2015:

April 13 – First Horizon Award Winners
April 20 – da Vinci Eye Winners
April 27 – Montaigne Medal Winners
May 4 – Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize Short List
May 11 (approx) – Eric Hoffer Award results, including the grand prize, press and category distinctions, and category finalists.

Please note: The First Horizon Award, da Vinci Eye, and Montaigne Medal are separate distinctions and do not influence the category or grand prize judging. If your book does not gain one of these honors or is not named in the grand prize short list, it is still being considered for a press and category award or perhaps a distinction as a category finalist.

This is the last time you’ll receive a general announcement until May when all of the awards have been posted. Award results are listed on our website, and after the grand prize announcement, full award coverage can be found in the US Review of Books. You may monitor the unfolding details of the award via our Facebook and Twitter accounts. We are intentionally not including this links, because many of your SPAM filters will capture this important message. You may find links to these social media outlets on our website front page.

If you have questions, please contact us, and we’ll be happy to help.

Regards,
Dawn Shows,
EHA Coordinator
