About the feature
Books That Make You highlighted Waiting for Ten as part of its Spring 2026 BookFest award-winners coverage. For readers discovering Jason W. Park’s fiction for the first time, the feature provides a current, independent path into the book and its BookFest recognition.
The timing matters because it gives the site a shareable landing page for the recognition: one page that explains the feature, connects it to the official BookFest award context, and points readers toward the book itself.
About Waiting for Ten
Waiting for Ten is a lean literary novella set in modern Los Angeles. The story builds pressure through dialogue, uneasy friendships, character friction, and the small turns that change a room.
Readers have described the book as witty, tense, quirky, and unexpectedly human. The BookFest recognition adds a useful third-party signal for anyone considering the novella from a review, social post, or recommendation.
