Subject: Foreword Magazine needs book award judges
Good Morning,
Foreword Magazine is seeking librarians and booksellers who might be
interested in helping us judge our 2006 Book Awards program. It is our
continued mission to give these awards significant credibility by having
the choices made by people from the publishing community who are in
touch with readers-patrons or customers-on a daily basis. We have many
areas of interest available in the 59 categories to be considered by a
jury reflecting our readership: booksellers and librarians. If you are
interested, judges will receive from 10-15 finalist books in a category
of interest (yours to keep after judging). Our finalist mailing to
judges begins next week, and will finish by mid- February . The deadline
to complete judging would be May 10th.
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 the long days
of winter! The publishers who make it to the finalist round will receive
some valuable attention for their books, and of course the winners named
will get some much-deserved visibility. The finalists are scheduled to
be posted on our website March 1st, and winners announced June 1st at
BookExpo America in New York.
I f any of the following available categories appeal to you, please
notify Whitney Hallberg whitney_at_forewordmagazine.com with your
preferences asap.
