Shortly after I started blogging, my dear friend Mary Lee emailed me. She thought I should apply to be a judge for the CYBILS awards. The application process, as I remember, was really simple, you just sent an email and a few days later, you got an email telling you which committee you would be working on. I did YA nonfiction that year, then went on to serve as a judge for elementary nonfiction for the next two years. Last year I moved over to Poetry, and I am super excited to announce that I will be a first round Poetry judge again this year. Yippee!!!!! I can't wait for the nominations to open on October 1st! Are you getting your list of nominees ready?
I'm totally out of my league with a whole committee of published poets and brilliant bloggers, but I know I will learn a lot!
