Each year, the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors joins with the Headliners Foundation of Texas to recognize outstanding journalism as practiced by the state’s daily newspapers.
Through this partnership, the Texas APME’s annual contest is complemented by a group of honors known as the Texas APME Headliners Excellence in Journalism Awards.
I’m very excited to announce that I have been selected for the second-place prize in the area of comment and criticism for my book column Top Shelf.
The judges had this to say about my reviews: “Literary criticism as elegantly written as the works themselves.”
