If you entered your work into the 2021 Journey Book Awards and do not see it on the list, please check our other non-fiction divisions, as the judges may have deemed that the work belongs in a different division. The many works that have been entered into the Journey Book Awards should have trigger warnings. This is why the judges requested the new division of the Hearten Book Awards for inspirational/uplifting works that overcome adversity. Other works may have moved to other divisions such as Nellie Bly Book Awards for Long Form Journalism or Essay, or our newest division Military and Front Lines Service Non-Fiction Awards. A few were moved the Shorts Division because they did not meet word count requirements.

These Works are now in the Running for the First Place and Grand Prize WINNERS of the Journey Awards!
