2012 Sydney Taylor Manuscript Award

The Sydney Taylor Manuscript Award Competition Committee has finished its deliberations and has 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, four manuscripts were selected as Manuscripts of Merit. Each author will receive a certificate.

The Manuscripts of Merit are Alice of Eastland, by Leslie Ann Birnbaum; Amy's Grandma Problem, by Andrea Fooner; The Calypso Shtetl, by Mary Rubin; and Echo Still, by Tim Tibbitts. <Read more...>
