opulist book awards have
everything, except people
NEW YORK (AP) What if a
people's choice award was held
and the people didn't choose?
The Quills Awards, organized
by NBC-TV and Reed Business
Information, which issues
Variety and Publishers Weekly,
were started this year with a
unique mission: to "pair a popu-
list sensibility with Hollywood-
style glitz to become the first
literary prizes to reflect the
tastes of the group that matters
most in publishing -- readers."
Authors such as J.K. Rowling,
Jon Stewart and Stephen King are
among the nominees in 19 cate-
gories, ranging from history and
general fiction to sports, cooking
and business. In a monthlong
voting period that ended Sept.
19, fans picked their favorites
by visiting the Quills Web site,
http://www.quillsvote.com, and
filling out an e-ballot.
Quills finalists were
announced in early August
and the awards have been
promoted at bookstores and on
NBC stations. Winners will be
revealed at an Oct. 11 black-tie
ceremony hosted by NBC news
anchor Brian Williams, and
featuring Jon Stewart, Martha
Stewart and Kim Cattrall.
On Saturday, Oct. 22, an edited
version of the ceremony will
air from 7-8 p.m., local time.
Fourteen NBC stations have
committed to showing it so far.
"We want to use television in a
way that will provide a different
understanding of the value of
books and authors and hope-
fully ignite general interest in
reading more," said Gerry Byrne,
a former publisher of Variety
and founder and chairman of
the Quills.
But if reader votes were book
sales, the Quills would hardly
rank as a blockbuster. According
to comScore Networks Inc.,
which tracks the Internet, the
Quills site has attracted so
little Web traffic, fewer than
the threshold of 25,000 "unique"
visits per week, that it can't
even offer an exact number;
the Web site for the National
Book Foundation, which spon-
sors the old guard National Book
Awards, has attracted compa-
rable traffic in recent weeks,
comScore said.
Byrne acknowledged that the
new awards were not on "every-
one's fingertips," but said he
was extremely pleased by the
response.
"We weren't expecting a
grand slam home run the first
time around," Byrne says. "We
wanted a solid, line-drive single
and that's what we got."
Publishers have mixed feel-
ings about the Quills. There is
deep admiration for the efforts
made to organize the awards
and cautious hope for increasing
sales. At the same time, many
sense little public awareness or
enthusiasm.
