Voting for the Crystal Kite Award presented by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) is now open. Winners announced in May. Sooooo, if you happen to be a voting member, liked Zenn Scarlett and wanna vote for it, Zenn says that in return she’ll provide exoveterinarian services for the off-world life form of your choice for an entire year. Pretty much an offer ya can’t refuse, huh? Thanks to any who drop in a ballot for my fave red-haired exovet. Cheers!
From the all-knowing wiki: The Crystal Kite Award (also known as ‘Crystal Kite Members Choice Awards’) are given by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) each year to recognize great books from the 70 SCBWI regions around the world. Along with the SCBWI Golden Kite Awards, the Crystal Kite Awards are chosen by other children’s book writers and illustrators, making them the only peer-given awards in publishing for young readers. Each SCBWI member votes for their favorite book from a nominated author in their region published in the previous year.
