Honoring Linda Quinby Lambert, Seán Dwyer, and David Beaumier – Recipients of the Village Books Literary Citizenship Award 2024

"The writing and publishing world is one made of relationships. Writing itself may be a somewhat solitary activity, but once the story or poem is ‘done’ we rely on others to read, share, and publish our work. Yet there are so many levels of participation from others in this community.” ~ Lori May, author of The Write Crowd: Literary Citizenship & The Writing Life
