CybilS awards in connection with KidLitospher  have been in motion for nearly 10 years.  This award strives to locate and to recognize children and young adult authors and illustrators who submit books with special literary merit and mainstream appeal.
“Jennie a previous judge will come back this year to the CYBILS for the  7th time . She’s been a panelist and now looks forward to a new role in CybilS.  She is the one organizer I left a question/comment for asking, “Where can we students find a complete organized list of genera’s for children, mid level readers and young adults?” I am hoping for a timely response to a burning question I have. Maybe even one my class mates may have the answer, please share if you do.  I think if I had a list the visual tangible list would help me to organiz my logged books in Goodreads, mentally.  I also think that when I post here in this blog or in Goodreads I would feel more confident in describing all books. This question in the #1 reason why I this is my  Friday Meme.
Back to the CybliS Award, new authors and published authors of non-published books can submit to the judges of this award to be considered for review.  The judges who vary from year to year will accept paper copy’s or e-versions. The judges certainly have the ideal season to read through being that it is winter.  I can only image the coffee and tea that will be drank while imaginations are ignited.  Hats off to those established and those upcoming authors! -Good luck to your stories in the upcoming judging rounds of The CybilS 2016.  The CybilS judging begins in Mid -October and award winners will be announced on Valentines Day 2017.
I have recently been introduced to a second local Nebraska author and wonder if she has been a part of CybilS awards in any capacity.  Have any of you known an author who have submitted a book for judging?

  1. I have never heard of the Cybils Award prior to reading your post. I looked up some previous award winners, and 2015’s Fiction winner “The Blackthorn Key” looks like an awesome read!
    Great post.

    1. I hadn’t done any research on the winners but definitely I am blown away at the amount of distinguished awards that exist. “The Blackthorn Key” sounds mysterious. I have been hesitant to read mystery. I keep saying maybe in the future…..
      I am currently reading the “The One and only Ivan” posts from our class and it is so interesting how many different views there are, I am sure that is similar to why the “The Blackthorn Key” is a CyblS winner.

      Have great week!
