ECA winners will be announced live during the PENCON editors’ conference in May, then notified by email and posted on the Editors’ Choice Award website and the Facebook pages of The Christian PEN, Christian Editor Connection, and PENCON and The Christian PEN’s Twitter page.
Winning authors and editors will also be interviewed for articles that will appear in an upcoming PEN Tips blog and The Christian Editor Network’s newsletter, which is distributed to hundreds of members.
In addition, each winning team member will receive a printed certificate and digital ECA Winner emblem. Authors will receive emblem stickers to place on their books.
Plus, each winning author and editor may select one of the following prizes from the Christian Editor Network:
-
- Free entry in the following year’s ECA contest
- Free silver membership in The Christian PEN (or gold membership upon qualifying for Christian Editor Connection)
- One free webinar, lesson pack, or group course from The PEN Institute
- 10% off the next PENCON editors’ conference
Upon request, winning authors and editors will be provided with judges’ notes on their submissions to help them further improve their writing and editing skills and to make corrections to the e-book or a future edition of the print book.
