Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Paperback Original
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Paperback or eBook Original was established in 1970.
The award honors the best mystery book that is initially printed as a paperback or eBook without a hardcover edition.[1] EBooks must be published by a reputable publisher, as determined by the Mystery Writers of America.[1] American authors' debut novels are not eligible for the award, though they are eligible for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best First Novel.[1]
