| | | Rowling & HBP nominated for a Quill Award
Jo Rowling and ' Half-Blood Prince' have been nominated for a Quill Award in the category of 'best children's narrative for middle graders'.
Winners will be announced at an Oct. 11 ceremony hosted by NBC anchor Brian Williams, to be aired Oct. 22.
Other authors nominated in the same category include Cornelia Funke, Katherine Hannigan, Dave Barry and Lemony Snicket. Quote:
"This is the first consumer-driven awards program that acknowledges the power and importance of the written word and celebrates literacy," Jay Ireland, president of NBC Universal Television Stations, said Thursday in a statement.
Some of the proceeds from the ceremony, for which admission will range from $1,000 for a single ticket to $25,000 for a sponsorship table, will be donated to the Quills Literacy Foundation.
| From Aug. 15 to Sept. 15, the public can vote online at http://www.quillsvote.com.

| | | Sounds really great! Well done JK!!
Is there a list of the other nominees on the site? I'm trying to look it up...
$1,000-$25,000??  That would be something around 300-800 of my pounds, which is quite a lot. | |

| Well just from my knowledge of those authors, I think it is going to be between J.K. Rowling and Lemony Snicket. I mean just cause of how well known their books are. I mean they both have movies based on their books. I don't know about the other three authors, but Jo and Lemony are the famous ones to me. |
