About
Since 1999, The Christy Awards have honored Christian novels of excellence, imagination, and creativity.
The Christy Award is designed to nurture and encourage creativity and quality in the writing and publishing of fiction written from a Christian worldview and showcase the diversity of genres.
The Award is named for Catherine Marshall’s enduring bestselling novel, Christy, published in 1967 and inspiring a continuing book series and a CBS television series starring Kellie Martin. The novel was released in 2017 in a 50th anniversary legacy edition by Gilead Publishing in partnership with Kregel Publications.
The Christy Award was established in 1999 to acknowledge the value and impact of the novel of faith in contemporary culture. Since that time, The Christy Award program has been a focal point for the writers and publishers in our community, symbolizing the best aspirations and accomplishments of authors who write from a perspective of faith and who create stories with matters of belief at their core.
