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.
