Past National Book Award nominee Jason Reynolds also praised Ward to the MashReads Podcast, saying, "I personally think [Jesmyn] is the greatest writer in the 21st century."

A few MashReads Podcastfavorites were also nominated this year, including Danez Smith's Don't Call Us Deadand Erika L. Sánchez's I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter.
