SUMMARY:Emyl Jenkins Award nominations are open through July 31\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:To honor the memory of Emyl Jenkins\, who passed away in 2010\, James River Writers presents an award to an outstanding individual who\, as Emyl did\, inspires a love of writing and writing education in Virginia. \nAn advocate for writers and their readers\, Emyl 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. \nA winner of the 2019 award will be someone who best matches Emyl Jenkins’ efforts to make Virginia a better place for writers\, whether by connecting people and/or organizations around the written word\, sharing time and expertise about writing\, or simply encouraging writers to do what they do. \nNominations accepted May 1 through July 31\, 2019 \nAny Virginia individual is eligible\, except for members of the JRW board of directors\, the advisory board\, or staff. \n
