All results from the first round have been published and we are starting round two of judging. In this round, we will read five more chapters from each book and announce the three winners from each genre on June 30th- July 7th.

A few things should be mentioned since participants raised questions/concerns.

𝟏.Review/feedback wasn't required for round one. Since each judge had to read ten books. Some judges added feedback but it wasn't mandatory therefore you demanding a review of your book in comments is not fair for the judges. We never said that each participant will get feedback and review of their work. We said that winners will get review/feedback. Which they will with the second round results. 

𝟐. We posted this:

We kindly ask you not to DM any of the judges after you get your score. We understand some of you will be disappointed and might not agree with your score. What judges do is just say what they think and you can disagree with that, but there is no reason to argue about the score. Winning is a great thing and overall goal but you have a story and you should be proud of that.

We asked just before starting round one and our book was turned into a war zone. While we do understand some issues and healthy discussion, which we had and found common ground. The main concern we had were comments which had curses and sensitive topics. Our community has a lot of teens and potential readers for participants. So while you in the heat of the moments used that type of vocabulary and wished each other unspeakable things they had to see that. That is all we will say about that. 

𝟑. We got replacement judges for those genres which were not fully judges. And to make it easier for you we adding a full list of judges below.
