Yolen wins Roots of Writing Award
SCBWI New England congratulates member (and past RA) Jane Yolen on receiving the Roots of Writing Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Female Writers.
This is the first year the award has been granted. The SF-FFW announced this award in 2005 to honor seven influential female science fiction and fantasy authors: Betty Ballantine, Madeleine L'Engle, Anne McCaffrey, Ursula K. Le Guin, Kate Wilhelm, Joanna Russ, and Andre Norton.
