Once Upon a Pen Fairy Tales for 2026
01/01/2026 - 12/31/2026 (121 days left)
The Once Upon a Pen Fairy Tale Book Awards celebrate the best in fairy tale, myth, legend, and classic literature retellings and I figured it might be fun to create a challenge with prompts for each category.
Content Focus:
- All books must be retellings of fairy tales, myths, legends, or classic literature.
- Books must fall into the "Clean/Swoony/No Spice" romance category, if romance is present.
- Limited to books published in 2026.
