- Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction
In 1982, Scott O'Dell established The Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction.
The annual award of $5,000 goes to an author for a meritorious book
published in the previous year for children or young adults. Scott O'Dell established this award to encourage other writers--particularly new authors--to
focus on historical fiction. He hoped in this way to increase the
interest of young readers in the historical background that has helped
to shape their country and their world.
If you read my previous post, I told you this was one not to miss. I love when I am right.
