Cybils 2018

Today nominations open for the Cybils Awards. The Cybils are the Children’s and Young Adult Blogger’s Literary Awards. The award “aims to recognize the children’s and young adult authors and illustrators whose books combine the highest literary merit and popular appeal”.

How to Participate

Nominations will remain open from today until 15 October. Anyone can nominate a book (one nomination per category). There are 15 categories, ranging from board books to graphic novels to young adult speuclative fiction. Nominated books must be 1) published in Canada or the USA, 2) between 16 October 2017 and 15 October 2018, and 3) written in English. Books don’t need multiple nominations to make the cut. If you nominate it, it will be considered! You can find out more about nominating at the Cybils website.

My Role

This is my third time participating in the Cybils as a judge. This year, i will be reprising my role as a round two judge for middle-grade speculative fiction. This means I will be part of the second group that selects a finalist from the shortlist created by the round one panelists. I am honored and excited to work with book blogging friends new and old who are experts in the genre. Be sure to check out their blogs!
