Weekly Scratch: A MOVIE, AWARDS, DON'T TELL,

Hi folks, Our upcoming Schmooze on 5-25 at the College Station Barnes and Noble at 10 a.m. will feature a panel discussing the following : Q&A about MFA programs, SCBWI conferences, Highlights Foundation workshops, and others. Be sure to check calendar for other weekly events.  Have I mentioned that Sherry Garland's book VOICES OF GETTYSBERG has recieved a 2011 Storytelling World Resource Award for Stories for Adolescent Listeners?
A MOVIE

I want to see The Library of the Early Mind.  It's a documentary about children's literature.  Watch the trailer here.

AWARDS

Wondering who won the Edgar Award for juvenile books from Mystery Writers of America in 2011?

Wonder who were the finalists for the Mythopoeic Society's Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature?

Look,a new award to honor the exceptional writing in a picture book in the amount of $5000: PEN/Steven Kroll Award to Honor Author of an Illustrated Children's Book!

DON'T TELL

A good article about showing vs telling on the blog, The Blood Red Pencil.

I will toss some more scratch next week.   Have a good day, folks!
