2023 Book Award Winners Announced

Feb 7, 2023


Feathered Quill Book Awards announces the winners of its annual award program.


Amherst Center, Massachusetts Feb 6, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Feathered Quill Book Awards, a program run by Feathered Quill Book Reviews,

a leader in online book review sites, is pleased to announce the winners of its 2023

award program. Now in its ninth year, the award program selects three winners - with gold, silver, and bronze designations in a total of twenty-four categories. In addition, Feathered Quill also includes finalists - these are books with scores close to the winners and well-deserving of recognition.  Instead of awarding a certain number of books per category for the finalist classification, the finalists are selected by high scores.  So, while some categories have several finalists, others have none. 

Several categories saw enormous growth, including the Informational, Children's Picture Books, and Poetry categories. Given the popularity of the poetry category, it was decided to separate the category into an adult division and a children's division this year. Both saw an impressive number of quality entries vying for top placings.

When submissions closed on December 15, 2022, and the official count of nominations was made, it was noted that, as in past years, the nominations had increased approximately twenty percent over the previous year. Every nominated book was read, critiqued, and scored, and often it was a mere point or two that separated the winners from those that did not win.  Included with each book's scoring are "Judges' Comments," which are provided for all entrants - an excellent way for winners to get promotional quotes for marketing as well as a way for all authors to get feedback on their books.

Feathered Quill also offers numerous additional awards sponsored by various publishing-related companies. New this year was a free three-month subscription to Book Award Pro for every winning book.

First PH Olympian figure skater announces return to competition

Michael Christian Martinez, the country’s first Olympian figure skater, announced on Monday night that he is returning to active competition. “Anyway… I’m competing again. Good luck, knees,” Martinez said in a Facebook post. The 29-year-old Martinez said he will take part in the 2026 Philippine National Figure Skating Championships and hoped to return to international competition next year. “Honestly, I never thought I’d be making this announcement again. It’s been years since I last competed, and since then, life has changed a lot. I’ve been able to do other things, focus more on coaching, and help younger skaters with their own competitive journey,” he wrote. “But one thing I kept getting asked over the years was, When are you competing again? or Are you ever coming back? And my answer was always… probably not. But somehow people kept asking, and I guess a part of me also started wondering… why not? So after a lot of thinking and a lot of convincing (and by a lot, I really mean A LOT), I finally said yes. I’m competing again,” Martinez added. Martinez said he wanted to keep things simple and not try to recreate his days at the Olympics. “This time, I really just want to enjoy competing again. No big expectations, no unnecessary pressure. I’m also keeping things simple. Not trying to recreate my Olympic days. Just training, skating, competing, and hopefully having fun doing it again… Of course, I still have a few personal goals I want to accomplish. But we’ll get to those eventually. For now, I’m just happy to be back,” the two-time Olympian wrote. “I honestly don’t know how far this comeback will go, and maybe that’s what makes it exciting. One competition at a time. Let’s just see what happens. See you at Nationals,” he said. Martinez represented the Philippines in men’s figure skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia and also in the 2018 games in PyeongChang, South Korea. Following his Olympic stints, he has since become a content creator under the name MZ Viral. He suffered multiple injuries, hampering his training.

Bucks waive Kevin Porter Jr. as they finalize their season-opening roster

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks waived guard Kevin Porter Jr. on Monday after a 2025-26 season in which he led the team in assists per game and ranked second in scoring. The move came ahead of Monday's NBA roster deadline. The Bucks open their season Wednesday at Washington. Although injuries limited Porter to 38 games last season, the 6-foot-5 guard productive when available. He averaged 17.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals. The Bucks had a surplus of guards as they retool in their first season without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was traded to Miami in the offseason. Waiving Porter should open up more playing time for younger backcourt performers such as rookie Brayden Burries and 20-year-old Kasparas Jakučionis, who will complement returning guard Ryan Rollins and 2025 All-Star Tyler Herro. Jakučionis and Herro came to Milwaukee in the Antetokounmpo trade. The Bucks selected Burries out of Arizona with the 10th overall pick in this year’s draft.

Fifa president hopes to woo Asian football federations ahead of re-election bid

Gianni Infantino’s campaign for re-election as Fifa president is set to move this week to Japan and a meeting scheduled for Wednesday with the Asian Football Confederation. This comes after Infantino apologised last week in Zurich, Switzerland, to Fifa’s 37-member ruling council – which he chairs – for “mistakes” he made in assembling a now-scrapped US$4.2 billion sell-off plan for the World Cup. The council is the main decision-making body at Fifa with a global spread of officials. The planned...
