By Candy Gourlay Happy World Book Week, everyone! And as luck would have it, the Crystal Kite Shortlist for Europe 2013 has been announced by SCBWI - and it's packed with friends of the Slushpile. The Crystal Kite Award is the only peer-nominated children's book award in the world. It is run by SCBWI region. Congratulations, all! I personally believe shortlists are as important as the awards

By Candy Gourlay On Notes from the Slushpile, we chronicle the slings and arrows of trying to make a dream come true so we get embarrassingly excited about debut authors. This is the first of our new series That’ll Be The Debut, where we meet debut authors and get the lowdown on what life is like beyond the Slushpile.

Thanks for the helpful little blurbs, Candy. Off to vote now!
But even so, it's such a good shortlist. I've read almost everything here and trying to decide which one to vote for has given me a headache.
