Comments
When do you release the winners in each category?
Do you send invitations to attend the book awards ceremony to authors nominated?
The International Latino Book Awards does not send out any invitations. The winners are announced live at the Jacobs Javits Center May 25, 2010, and for those who cannot attend, it will be posted online effective immediately. So I was told...
In the category of novel El monte origo author is José A. Carbonell Pla and not the groups of authors mentioned. Also the name of the editorial house is LetraRoja Publisher not Letra Rosa Publisher, same thing happened when mention Sobre lo fantástico mexicano in the reference book category.
