On behalf of the Whitney Awards committee, just I wanted to send out a reminder about the Whitney Awards Gala hosted on Saturday, May 7, after the Storymakers Conference. The Whitneys recognize outstanding literature in the LDS market. Many of you know people who are up for awards. To learn more, go here: http://whitneyawards.com/wordpress/about-the-whitney-awards/
This is from the official site:
What are the Whitneys?
The Whitneys are an awards program for novels by LDS authors. Elder Orson F. Whitney, an early apostle in the LDS church, prophesied “We will yet have Miltons and Shakespeares of our own.” Since we have that as our goal, we feel that we should also honor those authors who excel and continually raise the bar.
The Whitney Awards honor novels in the following categories: General Fiction, Romance, Suspense/Mystery, Speculative Fiction, Youth Fiction, Historical, Best Novel of the Year, and Best Novel by a New Author. Novels can be nominated by any reader (via this website or by mail), and nominees are voted on by an academy of industry professionals, including authors, publishers, bookstore owners, distributors, critics, and others.
The awards were founded in 2007 and operate as an semi-autonomous subsidiary of LDStorymakers.
Currently you can buy tickets to the Gala at the LDSStorymakers registration:

To all who have already registered, good for you! You'll definitely enjoy the nigh.
Thanks for thinking of us, and for passing this info along!
