kimlockhartga@beige.partyHow prestigious is the PenMasters Global Award for Literary Excellence?
I haven't heard of this award. Wondered if some of you were familiar with it.
lumiworx@mastodon.socialNot a ravenous reader or 'award follower', but was curious...
It seems absent from a list of the 17 'top' awards orgs [ https://awardshelf.com/awards/ ] that list many that I've heard about -- nor are they in a different list of 80, including small/indi types, where many of them seem to cater to pay-to-enter self-published authors [ https://book-publicist.com/top-book-awards-for-authors/ ]
If it helps any, the official website's domain name has only existed for about a year - April 17, 2025

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon after 30 seconds glancing at their website it’s pretty clearly a scam run by folks who run a range of scams targeting aspiring authors
