The CYBILS Awards results are out! http://www.cybils.com/2014/02/the-2013-cybils-awards.html I served on the panel for the Graphic Novels (both MG and YA) short lists and am SO pleased to see that Hereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite Barry Deutsch and Templar by Jordan Mechner won in their respective categories. The other titles in the graphic novels shortlists are also really strong. 2013 was a great year for GNs and it felt like the Children’s and Young Adults’ GN field has finally matured!

CYBILS 2013 Announced its panels of blogger judges!
Yup.. it is official. And I am on the Graphics judging panel for Round 1.
I served on the first CYBILS (Children and Young Adult Bloggers’ Literary Awards) Fantasy and Science Fiction final round panel and we picked Jonathan Stroud’s Ptolomy’s Gate as the winner for the year. A highly entertaining and deserving conclusion to an ever-intriguing and powerful trilogy.
Can’t wait to see all the suggestions/nominations for this year’s Graphic Narratives and generate that long list for future judges! Excited!
This is the panelists for the Graphics sections:
