“Every year, Killer Nashville announces the Finalists for our prestigious Silver Falchion Award…Last year, for the first time, they introduced something new: the Judges’ Top Picks…On their initiative, they submitted a list of titles they felt deserved extra recognition: manuscripts they felt should be on everyone’s reading list. The Finalists lists are capped at five titles per category, but true to Killer Nashville’s mission of encouraging and uplifting writers, the Judges’ Top Picks honor outstanding stories that moved our judges deeply and left them wanting more. Congratulations to these remarkable writers for winning a spot as the Judges’ Top Pick.”

See other Judges’ Top Picks on the Killer Nashville Page.
