The Swoony Awards are a Reader’s Choice Award recognizing excellence in
clean secular, wholesome romance. We wanted a way to show our
appreciation to these awesome authors who write the kind of books that
we love. It’s also a great way to find new books and a good go-to when
looking for something fun to read.

The
Swoony's will not be accepting nominations from ghostwriters, scammers,
book stuffers or click farmers. As we come across these "authors" they
will be removed from the nomination list. If you are aware of any of
these profiles, please let us know so I can add them to our ever growing
list.
Thank you for your participation!
While we
check each book added to make sure it meets our eligibility
requirements, we have not personally read every book on the list to
verify the level of content. We allow books that generally fall between
G-PG13 rated.
