2025 CLAYMORE AWARD Judges Top Picks – GA Rivers

Claymore Award 2025

Congratulations to all the phenomenal 2025 Claymore Award finalists in Best Action Adventure! What a stellar lineup of talent we’re seeing this year. I’m beyond thrilled—and frankly bursting with pride—to see our incredible AKA Literary Management client GA Rivers nominated for “Die Along the Way.” This is precisely the kind of recognition that exceptional storytelling deserves, and GA Rivers has truly outdone themselves with this gripping tale.

The competition is fierce this year, with Jaya Agrawal’s “Leo and the Chess Game of Ashoka,” Christopher Boswell’s “Tesla Enigma,” Angela Greenman’s “The Invisible Predator,” and Dennis Meredith’s “Angelians” rounding out this powerhouse category. However, I must say that having GA Rivers in this mix makes my agent’s heart sing! There’s nothing quite like watching a client’s hard work and brilliant storytelling get the recognition it deserves on such a prestigious platform.

The Claymore Awards have always been the gold standard for action-adventure fiction, and seeing our client’s name among these finalists is a career-defining moment. GA Rivers has crafted something truly special with “Die Along the Way,” and this nomination is just the beginning of what I know will be an incredible journey ahead. Here’s to all the finalists, and here’s to our amazing client—let’s bring home that Claymore!
