Serious Writer Awards Tez for “Book of the Decade”

NASHVILLE– August 20, 2020

Serious Writer chose The Single Dad Detour (Kregel, 2015) by Tez Brooks as “Book of the Decade” Thursday evening.

Usually held in New York City, the annual dinner and ceremony were moved to Nashville due to COVID restrictions, with Serious Writer adding Book of the Decade as a new category this year, along with the usual categories of Book of the Year and Writer of the Year.

Competition was stiff this year as judges read over 100 entries, narrowing it down to four winners, nationwide.

This is the second recognition The Single Dad Detour received. In 2016 it won Florida Writers Association’s Royal Palm Literary Award for “Best Inspirational Non-Fiction.”

Serious Writer is dedicated to providing a place where writers can learn best practices for their craft, develop marketing and PR skills to grow their platforms, and network with agents, editors, and other writers. They teach at conferences around the country and provide classes through Serious Writer Academy. For more details on this year’s winners and future events, check out Serious Writer
