The Carl Brandon Society has a program in book advocacy: every ethnic heritage month we will be sending out a list of ten speculative fiction books, which are still in print, by authors of that heritage to bookstores and libraries so that they can feature these books and encourage readers to pick them up.The way we arrive at the list is by asking our members to submit nominations, and then by polling members to choose the top ten. Right now we're taking nominations of speculative fiction books by writers of Latino/Hispanic heritage (they don't have to be American) for Hispanic Heritage Month.To participate, you have to be on the Carl Brandon Society yahoogroup because we use the polling function there. Please go here and sign up: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CarlBrandonOnce you're on the list, you can simply send your suggestions to the list. These should include author, title, and a brief (one sentence) description of the book.Once the deadline for nominations has passed, they compile the nominations into a poll on the yahoogroup website and you will have time to vote for the top ten.So now, to the nominations! You will have until FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, AT 6 PM to make nominations.
