BEYONDTHEMARGINS.com
THE RULES
Who can be nominated?
Any writer who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help
fellow writers. Extra editing, mentoring, putting writers in touch
with each other, putting writers in touch with agents and editors,
running classes for young people and seniors, organizing readings: If
there’s someone you know who has done one or more or all of these
things, we want to hear about it. Workshop leaders or class
instructors are eligible, but no formal teaching position is required.
(BTM authors and family members are ineligible, though their family
members certainly deserve an award.)
Who can nominate?
You! And any other writer out there who feels inspired to do so. The
only people who cannot send in nominations are BTM members. (And their
mothers.)
How to nominate?
your name and contact information, the name and contact information of
the nominee (email address is fine), any formal affiliations or
publications of that person, plus a brief (250 words) description of
how you know this person and what makes him/her such an exceptional
contributor to other writers. (Please do not send books, articles or
other publications belonging to you or the nominee.)
When?
Any time between December 1st and December 31st, 2011. Winners will be
announced in mid-January 2012.
Prize?
Though kindness is its own reward, we’ll garnish it with a glowing
Beyond The Margins write-up on the winner, plus a beautiful
paperweight-type Above & Beyond award of some yet-to-be-determined
size, weight and design.
So… who made the difference for you? We’d like to hear about it.
