The Minnesota Book Awards is seeking reader-judges for the program’s 35th year (2022-23)!

Evaluation takes place across nine genre categories: Poetry, Memoir & Creative Nonfiction, Genre Fiction, Young Adult, Middle Grade Literature, Children’s Literature, Novel & Short Story, General Nonfiction, and Minnesota Nonfiction. For each category, adjudication takes place in two rounds: Preliminary and Final. Preliminary Round involves narrowing each category’s submissions to four finalist titles; Final Round judges then select their category’s winner from among those four finalists.

Each judge is assigned to one category matched to their interests and credentials, and to one of the two rounds of judging. Judges in both rounds will convene with their panels on Zoom – on Saturday, January 28 and Saturday, March 11, respectively.

The assignment comes with a $375 stipend. For more information, or to apply click here: https://thefriends.org/minnesota-book-awards/
