Can I get a woot?  I just learned that Why Great Teachers Quit was nominated for ForWord Magazine’s Book of the Year Awards for 2010.  Here’s a little about ForWord and the awards:

“ForeWord Reviews‘ Book of the Year Awards were established to bring increased attention to librarians and booksellers of the literary and graphic achievements of independent publishers and their authors. ForeWord is the only review trade journal devoted exclusively to books from independent houses.

Our unique awards process brings readers, librarians, and booksellers together to select their top categories as well as choose the winning titles. Their decisions are based on editorial excellence, professional production, originality of the narrative, author credentials relative to the book, and the value the book adds to its genre.”

Recipients will be announced in March.  Wish me luck!
