- Title
The Cybils: Book Awards from the Blogosphere.
- Authors
Parker, Jackie
- Abstract
The article discusses the Children's and Young Adult Bloggers' Literary Awards, or the Cybils, which recognize well written literature with appeal to the young adult demographic. The Cybils were started in 2006 by children's literature bloggers Kelly Herold and Anne Levy. The awards use engagement and discussion with the online community, user-submitted nominations, and judging by diverse panels. The author also discusses the literary value of a list with user-generated nominations, the two round judging system which is designed to involve as many people as possible, and publisher support for the awards.
