A big welcome to readers and authors of Jane Austen Fan Fiction, Georgian& Regency novels in general. The aim of the awards is to reward authors for their dedication to the Regency genre. All books nominated henceforth will be read on provision of an ARC from authors. Whether those authors will choose to accept the award is entirely their decision. Below are details and guidelines.
Each book put forth by its author, or recommended by readers will be considered for the bi-monthly award. There is no competition attached to this award and no elimination process. The award is for quality of narrative prose, dialogue, the overall plot structure, characterisation, and that wonderful word *Austenesque* as a nuance of old England in manners, mores, and loose morals where appropriate.
Each book awarded the blue transparent plaque with have a unique code for identification purposes, in turn that code will assure readers and authors of its authenticity as an Official Jane Austen Award Book.
Books for consideration can be processed through my FB private messenger as a Mobi or PDF file. Alternatively, if a book is available as a FREE offer at Amazon then send me the link.
You may use the plaque as a symbol on your book cover, your Amazon profile page, or on your author web site.
Each symbol must have its unique code on display or it will be deemed a forgery.
Each plaque will be verifiable against a list which will be provided on this group.

Each book granted an award will receive an editorial review which again is entirely for the author to do with as they please. Amazon does provide means for authors to post editorial reviews.
There is no fee for books put forth for the award.
To clarify on a question asked as to whether *any* JAFF books could be considered, there had to be a cut-off point in accordance with the historical aspect of Jane Austen and Regency set novels, and although her novels were contemporary to her time, the Georgian and Regency eras are synonymous with Jane Austen and her real-time period.
A contemporary time-slip would be acceptable, but modern variations similar to Bridgette Jones Diary are a secondary level of JAFF and not set within Jane Austen's time zone and therefore unsuitable for the JA award.
Anthologies/boxed sets will not be considered for the award.
