Over the last couple of years the Andre Norton Award – the YA award that SFWA runs alongside the Nebulas – has been a bit of an embarrassment. This year, for example, the Nebula Best Novel short list included Little Brother by Cory Doctorow and Powers by Ursula K Le Guin, both YA books, and both of which failed to make it onto the Norton short list. But SFWA’s new management is continuing its program of reform, and part of that program is to reach out to the community to get better information on what YA books are eligible. If you have a book you’d like to put forward, go read this.
