Minnesota Book Awards deadlines

With the application deadline quickly approaching for individuals interested in serving as a final round judge for the 20th annual Minnesota Book Awards, I wanted to send out a reminder that the application deadline is Friday, November 30, 2007.

Applications are being accepted from individuals qualified and interested in judging one of the following eight award categories: Children’s Literature, General Nonfiction, Genre Fiction, Memoir & Creative Nonfiction, Minnesota Nonfiction, Novel & Short Story, Poetry, and Young Adult Literature.

The position description and application form are available at www.thefriends.org/mba_judges.html. Qualified applicants need not have previous judging experience to apply.

Please don’t hesitate to contact Book Awards staff with questions about anything related to the 20th annual Minnesota Book Awards, and be sure to visit www.thefriends.org for ongoing updates. As a reminder, book nominations close on Friday, December 14, 2007.

Thank you for your continued support of Minnesota authors and books.
