Futureword Presents . . . R. Anthony Mahan and Nicole Izmaylov
Nominees for the 47th Annual GAYA Awards
Congratulations on a job well done for both of you and the best of luck! You've both earned it!
Joe Vigliotti's Carnival Week was awarded . . . Second Place in the YA Fiction category!
"Plot was pertinent and interesting; conflicts were well-defined; teen characters were believable and teen readers will
self-identify . . ."
The judges gave valuable criticism on how to improve the work for the reading audiences but stayed objective in the critique.
". . . interspersing the song lyrics from the band worked to reinforce the deep emotions that young adults go through; very appropriate for young adults, definitely would read another book by this author."
~Sheila Donnelly , Royal Dragonfly Official Contest Judge~
Both Futureword and the author feel fortunate to have had the chance to get the judges opinions and want to thank the contest officials for an accurate critque.
Joe's working on the prequel!
