How to vote for your favourites
Voting for the semi-finals opens on 1 February and continues to 14 February, and will take place on Alexa Sommers’ site (link).
The books with the most votes will then go through to a finals voting process between 15 February and 29 February, with winners announced in early March.
I’ll be doing another post on this site to remind you to vote once the voting opens.
There is (so far as I know) no prize for winning, other than the prestige and publicity – but those things can be a big deal for erotica writers looking to increase their sales, so please back your favourite authors once the voting starts!
Time to celebrate!
To celebrate these nominations, all nominated books will be 20% off in the ATR store from now until the end of February.
In addition, I’ll be running bonus Golden Pigtails themed content throughout the award semi-finals period (1 to 14 February), and if any of the ATR author books make it through to the finals, there’ll be further celebrations ahead!
Here’s the schedule for Golden Pigtails content. (All dates are on Australian time, so when I have “voting opens” for 2 February, that’s because when it’s 2 Feb in Australia, it’s 1 Feb in the United States.)
