The
Crime Writers’ Association today announce that Endeavour Press are the
new sponsors for the CWA Endeavour Historical Dagger which is given to
the best historical novel of the year.
Richard
Foreman, founder of Endeavour Press said: “Endeavour Press are proud to
be sponsoring the CWA Historical Dagger. As both readers - and
publishers - of crime fiction Endeavour Press are keen to support the
CWA, an association which continues to foster relationships between its
authors and the growing readership for crime novels. Also, as someone
who has spent the past decade promoting both history books and crime
fiction, it also gives me great personal satisfaction to help reward
authors for their hard work and talent, whether they be debut writers or
more established names.”
Lucy
Santos, Director, The Crime Writers’ Association commented: “We are
delighted to announce that Endeavour will be the sponsor for this award.
Working with such an exciting and enterprising company means that this
Dagger will be able to flourish and we will be able to celebrate the
achievements of those writing historical crime. This is an incredibly
strong and vibrant category of crime writing and we are proud to
celebrate excellence in this area.”
The winner of the CWA Endeavour Historical Dagger will be announced on the 30th
June at the CWA Dagger Awards Dinner 2014. This prestigious event will
also see the winners of the CWA Short Story, Non Fiction, International
and Debut Dagger being presented. This evening will be hosted by Lucy Worsley, who recently explored the phenomenon of our fascination with murder in the BBC television series ‘A very British Murder.’
The short lists for all these awards will be announced at a reception at CrimeFest in Bristol in May.
