The "Blooker" Prize

"The Lulu Blooker Prize is the world's first literary prizedevoted to "blooks": books based on blogs or websites. Awarded in three categories: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Comics...". The 2006 Lulu Blooker Prizes went to Julie Powell for her book Julie & Julia: 365 days, 524 recipes, 1 tiny apartment kitchen in the Nonfiction category; Cherie Priest for her novel, Four and Twenty Blackbirds; and Zach Miller for his comic novelization, Totally Boned. Neat concept and about time awards were given to this form of writing!
