Susanna Reich presented the PEN/Phyllis Naylor Working Writer Fellowship to Sarah Dooley for her book, Free Verse. The judges were Daniel Handler, Lyn Miller-Lachman, and Neal Shusterman.<br /><br />I had the privilege of presenting the first PEN/Steven Kroll Award for Picture Book Writing to Patricia McKissack for her book, Never Forgotten. Vera B. Williams, Carmen Agra Deedy, and I were the judges.<br /><br />It was a wonderful evening, one that made me proud to be part of the literary community on two coasts! I hope all our INK writers are members of PEN.<br /><br />Susan Kuklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468988943704460257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-86583741010806809402012-10-24T17:45:58.642-04:002012-10-24T17:45:58.642-04:00Congratulations, Gretchen on your PEN recognition....Congratulations, Gretchen on your PEN recognition. We have a very active PEN children's group here in NYC, with none other than our very own Susanna Reich as chair.
