[ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Manuscript Award Committee Openings

[Talya Sokoll via Hasafran]

Hello All!
It has been so wonderful to see so many of you at the conference this
week.  I am emailing to let you all know that The Sydney Taylor Manuscript
Award Committee has three openings

for committee members beginning September 2024. Terms are limited to three
years.

The committee’s duties consist of reading unpublished manuscripts,
completing an evaluative rubric, and writing evaluations of those
manuscripts. The committee, guided by the chairperson, then communicates
via email and Zoom to choose a successful candidate and winner of the
Sydney Taylor Manuscript Award.

Individuals interested in serving on the Committee should have some
background in book reviewing or similar experience and a familiarity with
the goals and constructs of children's literature. They must be able to
meet deadlines and commit to writing thoughtful, detailed evaluations.

Manuscripts for consideration are accepted until September 13th; a decision
is reached by mid-January.

For questions and information please reply to this email!

To apply for membership on the STMAC please fill out this form

by
July 26th.
Best,
Talya Sokoll
Incoming Chair

The candidates for the three open positions on the committee were outstanding. 
The committee is made up of the following:

Ilka Gordon, currently on leave; Heather Matthews, university professor; Stacy 
Nochowitz, librarian and author of the award winning The Prince of Steel Pier; 
Talya Sokoll, private school librarian and library activist;  and Evan 
Wolkenstein, teacher and author of the award winning Turtle Boy.
This is the most diverse committee in some time. I look forward to interesting 
discussions about the merits of the manuscripts.
Manuscripts are due by the extended deadline of October 5.

[ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor Manuscript Award

[Aileen Grossberg]

The Sydney Taylor Manuscript Award Competition Committee has been deliberating 
for some days and has finally  reached a decision about the 2012 award. The 
Committee felt that, while the crop of manuscripts was interesting and each had 
some merit, none adequately met the competition's criteria. Consequently, no 
award will be given this year.


However, 4 manuscripts were selected as Manuscripts of Merit. Each author will 
receive a certificate and the titles will be listed on the website.



Look for more details about the manuscripts, the authors and the process in the 
next AJL Newsletter.
