The Christy Amplify Award for Christian Fiction
“There’s a technical term for this kind of sacred story sharing called 'windows and mirrors.' You get to see a mirror of yourself when you read someone’s story. You get to enter someone else's experience and actually see yourself, which means that you're being reflected. You’re seeing them as human, and you’re seeing you as human.”
— Jevon Bolden, CEO of Embolden Media Group
Debuting in 2022, The Amplify Award for Christian Fiction was carefully developed by publishers, authors, and agents of color in our industry to encourage, elevate, and recognize stories from ethnically diverse perspectives – so that our entire Christy Award program can better reflect God’s beautifully diverse kingdom.
All nominees for The Amplify Award must first be submitted into a traditional category of The Christy Award before opting to be considered for this additional award. The recipient of The Amplify Award will have excelled in their Christy-submitted category, and in their literary expression, borrowing from their own experience or perspective, and using authentic and effective voice to deliver a story of an enduring nature.
