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 or the Shorts if they did not meet word count requirements.
