To be considered, a book\/app has to have been published in the U.S. between Oct. 16, 2011, and Oct. 15, 2012. (Online booksellers and sites like Goodreads usually list publication dates, if you&#8217;re unsure about whether a title qualifies.)<\/p>\n<p>You can only nominate one title per category, but it&#8217;s not necessary to second a nomination that&#8217;s already been made, which could be helpful if you&#8217;re torn between a couple titles in a single category.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you don&#8217;t need to have a blog to nominate a book or app. You just need to have liked it.<\/p>\n<p>I, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spritewrites.net\/?p=4338\">am particularly interested<\/a> in your recent young adult fiction titles, but I&#8217;ll be interested to see what titles get nominated in the other categories, too.<\/p>\n<p>Nominations opened today and run through Oct. 15.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calling all readers of kiddie and young adult books: The Cybils need your help!
