The Emyl Jenkins Award is presented to an outstanding individual who inspires a love of writing and writing education in Virginia.
An advocate for writers and their readers, Emyl Jenkins had a knack for connecting both people and organizations. She shared her time and expertise with everyone she encountered. She encouraged writers at all levels, especially fledglings trying to get those first words down on the page. Her generous spirit and enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone she touched, and, like ripples in a pond, her actions widened the circle of writing encouragement.
Know someone that embodies Emyl’s spirit and inspires and encourages a love for writing? Nominate them today!
