We are the only outlet exclusively dedicated to offering cozy mystery book awards today. Masterclass defines a cozy mystery book or series as one that “embodies the key components of classic mystery-suspense, misdirection, intrigue, and some degree of criminality-while eliminating the graphic violence and profanity often seen in pulpier mysteries.” Once you pick up these page turners, you can’t put them down and we love them!

While other book award programs will take any and all books and offer up many category winners, we just recognize the top cozy mysteries. We believe this genre stands out above all others so we are looking to honor the best of the bunch.

According to BookBub, book awards "stir up media attention, tap into new audiences, support promotional efforts, and boost sales." So, set up your cozy mystery for success!

Award winners will be announced 4 times each year (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter). The book does not have to be a new release, great cozy mysteries have been written for decades now and we aim to recognize those that truly stand out. If you published your cozy 5 or 10 years ago, that's okay.

* Get the recognition you deserve!

What Makes Our Approach Stand Out

Boost Sales
Most research shows that you need a minimum of 50 reviews to rank on places like Amazon. Use our Award and Review service to keep your book top of mind.
Cost
While other book review and award services charge several hundred dollars for reviews and awards, we keep our fees at a minimum.
Timing
While other book review and award services take at least 6 weeks to finish a review and only give out books awards once a year, we deliver quality book reviews in just 1 month and our awards program runs 4 times a year, allowing us to honor many cozy mysteries.
Specialization
While other book review and award services review all kinds of books and give awards to books in multiple categories, we only review and reward cozy mysteries. We see the value of this genre!
We Love Cozies
While other book review and award services tout a long list of professional book reviewers and judges that enjoy being critics, our team is composed of reviewers and judges that love cozy mysteries.
It's Easy
You're busy. So, we've designed a streamlined application to make it fast and painless to enter your cozy mystery for a stellar review and/or award recognition.

I sent my book in for both a review and an award. The process was so fast and easy and the reviewer really got what I was going for. They really know and love cozy mysteries. I used the review to get more sales and it worked. I also am so honored to have won the Distinguished Cozy Mystery Award!

I am proud and humbled at the same time [to win the Distinguished Cozy Mystery Award]. Thank you! Today, so many books are published every day, and mysteries are such a popular genre. To receive recognition and be pointed out in the crowd as above average is paramount!

Writing can be a very solitary profession, and feedback is often much less immediate or pronounced than it is for some of the other arts. A performer on stage receives applause at the time of the play or concert, but writers may work for months (even years) on a project, only to have even more time pass before they see that project come to fruition. I liken writers to Noah, standing on the Ark, releasing doves in the hopes one will bring back evidence of dry land out there somewhere. A lot of doves never return. So to win the Distinguished Cozy Mystery Award, I feel just as amazed and in awe as Noah must have felt when that dove came back with an olive branch. Thank you so much for this honor!
