Females of Fiction

Females of Fiction Award

We’re not here for much time.

We have to live to our maximum capacity,

to give, to understand, to make a real difference. – Dr. Hindi Krinsky

The Females of Fiction Awards recognizes outstanding female authors and illustrators of children’s books and strives to empower and support women who are building their literary portfolio and creating stories containing powerful messages of inspiration.

 

Each year, judges on the Hindi’s Libraries Literary Panel select winners for author, cover design, and illustration in each of our book categories:

  • infant/board

  • picture

  • chapter/middle grades

  • young adult

 

Winners receive:

  • $100 Barnes & Noble gift card

  • award seals to place on books as well as digital award seals to place on any e-books.

  • promotion on our socials and emails to our supporters

  • media opportunities (subject to availability)

Judges include educators, children's authors, young readers and our Hindi's Libraries cofounders.

Books may be published any year; prior recipients of any Females of Fiction Award are not eligible for additional award, regardless of category previously awarded.

All physical books collected from Females of Fiction Award submissions are donated to our recipients after being reviewed.
