Mystery writer award
The Macavity Awards, established in 1987, are a group of literary awards presented annually to mystery writers. Nominated and voted upon annually by the members of the Mystery Readers International, the award is named for the "mystery cat" of T. S.

The Sue Feder Historical Mystery has been given in conjunction with the Macavity Awards.
