The thriller awards
No need to be set in Greece — there’s no requirement. If you write thrillers, this is your category.
Three awards. One genre. Submitted by the publisher or directly by the traditionally published author (entry fee applies). Voted on by readers. Winner chosen by the panel.
The Odyssey Award
The headline award. The book that kept you turning pages all the way home. Not the most commercially successful. The one that earned every reader’s trust and never broke it.
The Circe Award
The book that got inside your head and won’t leave. The one that made you question what you knew, who you trusted, and what was real.
The Athena Award
The sharpest new voice in the genre. Completely confident from page one, with no apprentice work visible anywhere.
