Writing Center professionals are invited to nominate a book or article for the 2006 International Writing Centers Association (IWCA) Outstanding Scholarship Awards for Best Book and Best Article. The book and article must have a publication date of 2006 and must be relevant to writing center work.

Deadline for nominations: February 1, 2007

Address: Send nominations by e-mail to Clint Gardner clint.gardner@slcc.edu.

Guidelines: Publications may be nominated by the author(s) or by other readers. Nominations must specify with a maximum of 500 words the reasons why the book or article deserves the award. Send separate nomination messages for each item of scholarship. Nominations will be forwarded to the award committees after the deadline. If a nominated publication is not from a readily accessible publication, the nominator may be asked to provide a copy.

IWCA supports diverse scholarship and publication. If nominators find that deserving scholarship does not fit the conventions found in most paper- or e-based publications, they should explain why the publication is to be considered in either the article or the book category.
