Literary awards and honors: December 10, 2024

As we approach the end of the year, many — but not all — of these awards and honors will be best-of-the-year lists ...

• "Fleeting Marrow" by Yan F. Zhang has won this year's 4thWrite Prize, and you can read the tale at the end of the news article about it (The Guardian).

• See the ten authors who have been awarded a $40,000 Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant to help them complete their works in progress (Literary Hub).

• Fifty-four designers helped Emily Temple compile a list of the 167 best book covers of 2024 (Literary Hub).

• But it's what's on the inside that counts, and here are the best-reviewed fiction books of 2024 (Book Marks).
