2022 EIE Winners
Christian Editor Connection’s Excellence in Editing Award celebrates books that are superbly written, well edited, and published by a Christian publisher or self-published by a Christian author during the previous year. Our judges evaluate the entries based on organization, plot and character development (for fiction), flow, clarity, tight writing, accuracy, consistency, lack of typos, and proper use of industry-standard guidelines for punctuation, usage, grammar, and spelling. Because our judges are professional editors, the competition is fierce.
We are pleased to announce the following Winners of the 2022 Excellence in Editing Award:
It takes a team!
