Enjoy your judging! Last time I was asked to judge anything it was the Mary Grant Bruce Award for Children's Literature. I was sent seventy-five stories to read. Most of them were awful, some were not for children, one of them was BY a child - they were supposed to be without the author's name, but some proud mother sent in her child's work with a note that this was by "little so-and-so twelve years old". I had to give a prize in the special Gippsland section, because that was one of the conditions of the award. despite the Gippsland entries that year being pretty bad.<br /><br /> I chose a short list of seven stories, then gave them to two children, the daughters of my sister's friend, to choose the winner. It was, in general, an exhausting task, so I wish you well in yours. At least your books have been published already!Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-59566399732878144002011-07-05T21:03:38.265-07:002011-07-05T21:03:38.265-07:00Thanks for the post and the link, Sue.

Yes, I'm really surprised and delighted to be an Inky Awards judge (as my blog posts elaborate). <br /><br />I plan to use my blog for a variety of interests (including on YA literature). It's just a matter of making time!little_strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940798482789935538noreply@blogger.com
