Call for Sydney Taylor Manuscript Award Competiton Committee members.
There are two openings on the Manuscript Award Committee beginning in Spring 2018. Members may serve on the committee for five years. Interested AJL members should send a curriculum vitae highlighting experience with children’s literature and two writing samples, preferably book reviews. In addition to being AJL members, committee members must have expertise in Jewish children’s literature and be able to meet firm deadlines. Committee members need not be actively working in a library setting. The committee’s charge is to select a work of fiction in English with universal appeal of Jewish content for readers aged 8 to 13 years, both Jewish and non-Jewish. The winning manuscript should reveal positive aspects of Jewish life. The work of the committee runs from October 1 through mid-January. Application for membership can be mailed to [email protected] Aileen Grossberg Chair Sydney Taylor Manuscript Award Competition
