Awards

Today I thought I would share the news that a writer friend of mine and fellow Undiscovered Voices 2010 winner has been shortlisted for an award.

The Amazing Book Awards is an award which is supported by Sussex Coast Schools and Jane Benson McLoughlin has been shortlisted for the award for her book At Yellow Lake.

The shortlist I believe comes about as a result of student votes, and given that her book is a teen book, I think it is secondary students who vote. What a brilliant initiative which encourages young people to read and I am thrilled for Jane. Fingers crossed for her!
