| The Writers' League of Texas and Barnes & Noble sponsor the Thirteenth Annual Violet Crown Book Awards to honor three outstanding published books written by Writers' League of Texas members. The name of the awards comes from an O. Henry phrase describing Austin as “the City of the Violet Crown.”* The intent of the awards is to recognize, encourage and sustain talented writers. We trust O. Henry would approve. | |

| Deadline: May 31, 2004 Entries are now being accepted for the 2004 Teddy Children's Book Awards. |
| Entries for the Seventh Annual Teddy Children's Book Award, sponsored by the Writers' League of Texas with support from Barnes & Noble Booksellers, will be accepted through May 31, 2004. Entries must have been published from June 1, 2003 through May 31, 2004 and may include any children's book--fiction or nonfiction, picture book to young adult. The award was created to honor an outstanding book for children published by a member of the Writers' League of Texas. The name, the Teddy Children's Book Award, was chosen because teddy bears, like children's books, are classic, time-honored, childhood symbols cherished by children and adults alike.
