362.0. "I resolve..." by REGENT::BROOMHEAD (Don't panic -- yet.) Fri Dec 30 1988 17:13

    I resolve to type in the following from the newest Noreascon
    Three Progress Report so some other Womannoter can make a
    New Year's resolution:
    
    			Andre Norton to Give
    			   Fantasy Award
    
      We announced in Progress Report 4 that Andre Norton will
    sponsor an award, The Gryphon, for the best unpublished fantasy
    work by a woman writer new to the field.  She will present the
    first annual award at Noreascon Three.  Besides the trophy, a
    prize of $500.00 will be given, and probable publication.
    
      The award will go to a published author who has sold no more
    than two books or short stories at the time of judging.  Deadline
    for the first award reading is July 1, 1989.  Submissions
    should be mailed to Andre Norton; 1600 Spruce Ave.; Winter
    Park, FL 32789.
    
      Judging for the first year will be done by Andre Norton and
    two associates.  A judging committee, including the award winner,
    will be established for future years.

    That is wonderful to hear.  Andre Norton (aka Alice Mary Norton) was
    my first "favorite" SF writer when I was young, and I still remember
    many of her works fondly.  Of course, she is still actively writing
    today.
    
    I hope that this award allows more women to be recognized for their
    writings and that it encourages more women to write fantasy and
    science fiction.

    AN was one of my favorites too during my teens; I've even tried reading
    some of her stuff from time to time more recently and have regretted
    that her focus remains the young-adult audience.  <sigh>
    
    Jeez, I wonder whether if I worked really hard at it....

    I liked this one from a USA Today newspaper comment last week.
    
    "I resolve to be just as unpredictable this year as I was last."
    from the editor (I believe) of the paper.
