Subject: Looking for Book Award Judges

May we extend an invitation to become a judge? We have 53 categories 
to be considered by a jury reflecting our readership: booksellers and 
librarians. Judges will receive from 10-15 finalist books in a 
category of interest (yours to keep after judging).  Our sorting began 
Monday, and will primarily finish in the next several weeks, with a few 
(easy) categories into March. 

The Finalists are scheduled to be posted on our website April 15th, and 
winners announced May 19th at BookExpo America in Washington DC.

It is a time commitment, but we're hoping the opportunity to expand 
your personal library and aid in our mission of discovering good books 
from independent presses might give you a great excuse to fill these 
dog days of winter! 

I'd also like to remind list members that we offer FREE subscriptions 
of ForeWord Magazine to booksellers and librarians (registration is top 
right-hand side of our home page) who would like to see more books on 
their shelves from indie presses but need a review to verify it's 
merits. We normally include 75+, four hundred and fifty word reviews, 
as well as category spotlight feature stories on what we see as trends 
coming from small presses. Visit our website to see the quality of 
reviews and a full text version of the magazine.
