Another heartfelt apology for the delay, but here are our three finalists for each category! If you didn't make the cut this time, that by no means makes you a bad writer or your book a bad story, it just means you weren't quite what we were looking for in your designated category. Keep writing, and consider trying again next year when we'll have different categories!
Another note: As we said previously, it is completely possible for one story or author to be a finalist in multiple categories.
