Why is This Happening?
This entire endeavor is a celebration of an important literary milestone: comedian and writer Shawn Wickens (hopefully) completing the final draft of his next book:
Death of a Hot Tub Salesman
(An Un-Fictional Literary Fever Dream)
The book is currently scheduled for publication no later than March 31, 2027.
Is this contest related to the book?
Sure.
Does the book have anything to do with these awards?
Just chill out already.
And remember: You don’t have to be a pool boy to nominate one.
