Los Angeles – On the eve of BEA, NAPRA announced the winners of its third annual Nautilus Awards, honoring the year’s outstanding titles promoting conscious living and positive social change.
• Best Small Press/Self-Published Title: Painted Prayers by Jody Uttal (Tallfellow Press)
About The Nautilus: Now in its 3rd year, The Nautilus Award recognizes titles from the previous year that made a significant literary contribution to conscious living and positive social change. Finalists and winners in each category were selected from titles nominated by their publishers or authors. A call for entries for the 2004 awards will be issued in the fall.

The Nautilus Awards are named for the mollusk whose exquisite pearl-lined shell contains chambers of increasing size, which the sea creature constructs for itself as it grows. The nautilus symbolizes both ancient wisdom and expanding horizons, both natural elegance and the continual growth of understanding.
