MOONBEAM CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD WINNERS FOR ALL AGES</div>
<br />
(Traverse City, MI - Oct. 7, 2014) The Moonbeam Awards program is dedicated to reading at all levels and to children of all nationalities, races and faiths. Now in its eighth year, the contest is known for its diversity and inclusiveness, and this year's medalists range from a book for pregnant mothers to read to their unborn babies, to <span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">a young adult novel dealing with homelessness and human trafficking</span>.<br />
<br />
The Moonbeam Awards are designed to bring increased recognition to the year's best children's books. The winners are chosen for their commitment to children, literacy and lifelong reading. Judging panels of book reviewers, librarians, teachers, and students chose 166 medalists from over 1,300 entries, and medals will go to books representing 37 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, five Canadian provinces, and Australia, Brazil, Ireland, Japan, Singapore, Scotland and Spain.<br />
<br />

<br />
This year's gold medalist in the Board Book category is <i>Can't Wait to Show You</i> (Preliteracy Partners), and this charming book is not only meant to be read to babies <i>in utero</i>, it's shaped to fit the curve of a mother's pregnant belly! Alas, not everyone receives the gift of reading: <i>My Dad Couldn't Read</i> (See a Book Take a Look) explains how a reading disorder turned into adult illiteracy -- but through tutoring and perseverance father and daughter learned together and earned their high school diplomas together.<br />
<br />
Probably the ultimate example of courage and perseverance in this new millennium is the story of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl who in 2012 survived an attempted assassination by the Taliban for speaking out about girls' rights to education. <i>Out in Front</i> (Morgan Reynolds) is author David Aretha's stirring biography of Yousafzai, the "girl who wouldn't be silenced," whose dream is for "every child to go to school," and who someday wants to become the prime minister of Pakistan.<br />
<br />
The Religion category gold medalist is another example of girl-power, inspired when author David R. Weiss's daughter asked him to tell her a story about <i>When God Was a Little Girl</i> (Beaver's Pond Press). He explained how Creation was like one of her art projects, done with joy and love, and even with all the different colors, shapes, and sizes, it looked "just right."<br />
<i><br /></i>
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><i>Spillworthy</i>, the self-published gold medalist in the Mature Issues fiction category, not only deals with homelessness and human trafficking, but gives voice to the young victims who rise above their trials through the powerful magic of words. Idaho-based author Johanna Harness proves that reading, writing and communication truly does heal and can save souls -- and books like hers, along with the rest of this year's Moonbeam winners -- can change the world.</span><br />

<br />
The Moonbeam Awards were created in 2007 by northern Michigan-based book marketing firm Jenkins Group, and the winners represent the best books published for children and young adults during the previous year. Jenkins Group has been involved in book packaging, marketing and distribution since 1988, and the growing influence of their children's and grandchildren's love of books inspired them to launch the Moonbeam Awards and the Traverse City Children’s Book Festival.<br />

<a href="http://www.independentpublisher.com/article.php?page=1862" target="_blank">Spillworthy won a Moonbeam Children's Book Award! </a>And it's a gold!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm so excited and honored. I still don't quite know how to process this. It's amazing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I look at the Moonbeam books and realize that this is exactly the kind of list that made me want to start writing, and it's exactly the kind of list that made me fall in love with independent publishing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pre-Internet, these were the books I would search for in catalogs and on pilgrimages to huge, urban booksellers. Today these books can be just as difficult to find because they get lost in the noise of publishing. <br />
<br />
It's difficult to describe the feeling I get from these books. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have you ever savored a magazine with images selected because they did NOT look like stock photography? An old Mothering magazine? Or an old New Moon Girls? I'm not talking about sloppy or unprofessional. I'm talking about real.<br />
<br />
That's the feeling I look for in independently-published books. I'm looking for ideas that aren't changed to fit a preconceived idea of what an audience wants--the literary version of photoshopping. I'm looking for stories and ideas that certainly could have been changed to make them more marketable, but they were tumbled into something organic and real instead. They include a variety of characters, like those who actually exist in the world, without slimming or whitewashing or idealizing of dominant culture. And the covers reflect the guts of the novels! They are beautiful not in spite of being real, but because they are real.<br />
<br />
I already have a huge reading list shaped from Moonbeam lists from multiple years. Now I must talk to librarians about getting more of these books on the shelves because my budget is too small and my list is too big.<br />
<br />
Thank you, Moonbeam, not just for this award, but also for your dedication in bringing independent books to the attention of serious readers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.<br />
<br />

In <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0991381025/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0991381025&linkCode=as2&tag=johanharne-20&linkId=JQP5GVF7Y3SWHTHQ" target="_blank">Spillworthy</a>, Ulysses takes his best writing and transfers it to pizza boxes to display in his neighborhood. For this <a href="http://hermitmusicfestival.com/" target="_blank">Hermit Festival</a> workshop, I chose a smaller form--playing cards repurposed as trading cards. Spillworthy says a medium pizza box is about the right size for a short essay. For our group, the trading card turned out to be a great size for micro-poetry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kids created all their cards around Hermit Fest observations. If their cards referenced anyone in attendance at the festival, they could go get signatures on the cards. The performers and vendors responded to the kids with such joy. It was a gorgeous thing to see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We're heading back to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/indiancreek" target="_blank">Indian Creek Winery</a> for a second workshop day today, starting at 12:40 by the stump stage. Any kids who can't make it to the stage on time, can find me and I'll set them up with a notebook and blank trading cards. </div>

The Rochester Avon Recreational Authority is a hub of activity for adults, teens and children. The building is home to the main office and the dance studios, and has two rooms with tables for students (and their siblings) to do homework while waiting for dance classes. They are teeming with kids just about every day. While I was taking this photo, there was a young lady watching me with great curiosity, and I have a feeling that, the moment I walked away, she would be checking out the book I left behind. I hope that she, or whoever takes the book home, will log in to Spillworthy.com and report that it's been caught!</span></span></h3>

For the blog hop, I'll be giving away five Kindle copies of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JZ6PHKI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00JZ6PHKI&linkCode=as2&tag=amwristore-20&linkId=VHY6LUW7ZJMZYKXA">Spillworthy</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=amwristore-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00JZ6PHKI" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> at the end of the week. One lucky winner will also receive a signed ARC and media package, just like the one sent to librarians and book reviewers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

My book doesn't come out for a few more days, but there were a few copies available for today's SCBWI conference in Boise. I had so much fun!<br />

Virginia and Greg have been hiding something from me for months! Virginia presented me with this beautiful Pendleton blanket today, to celebrate my first signing and the beginning of book release events. I knew she had a Pendleton box, so I was prepped to like what was inside, but I never dreamed it would be such a beautiful blanket. There are tabs on the top, so I can hang it. Do you see the Spillworthy monogramming? Yeah. I could totally release another book just for another blanket.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Review posted by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/892231869" target="_blank">Linnie Steenvoorden on Goodreads</a>:</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">It’s been a while since I finished a book in one sitting. But this one I just couldn’t put down. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">The story is laid out like breadcrumbs. It begins very small. The way it’s written prevents you from zooming out and seeing the bigger picture. It keeps you hanging on. One more page. One more, one more. Right until the very end. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Without copying the style the story and pacing remind me of one of my childhood favourites. (The Famous Five). </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Great ending and a lovely underlying message, which I will not spoil here. Not everything is Spillworthy. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Sssh. Don’t look up…</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><i>Spillworthy</i> by Johanna Harness has left me baffled, surprised, speechless, and with the deep wish that all schools all over the world put this middle-grade novel in their libraries, and not only one copy, but fifty. Or maybe one-hundred. Or maybe enough copies so every child can take it home and then "release" it into the world so it becomes a real Spillworthy, a piece of writing set free into the world. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I just know that kids will devour this book, and maybe not only kids. When I began reading I had a text marker in my hand to highlight notable passages, only I gave up a few pages into the book. Every page is noteworthy, full of observations, insight, philosophy.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">This: "Maybe we're all supposed to be making music together whether it feels like we belong together or not. Maybe it's not enough to live your own lives with quiet respect for others. Maybe we're supposed to be reaching and connecting – even when it seems like there's no way that's possible."</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">This novel reminds me of To Kill a Mockingbird; the kids are of about the same age, and sometimes the tone is similar. Then again, it's something completely different, something not attempted before, both in style and form. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />

I'm so excited! My first <i>Spillworthy</i> interview is up over at <a href="http://fridayflash.org/press/2014/04/24/an-interview-with-johanna-harness/" target="_blank">FridayFlash.org</a>!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://twitter.com/jmstro" target="_blank">J. M. Strother</a> interviewed me and I found myself revealing much more than I've revealed in other interviews--like why I decided to self-publish, information I've kept to myself for some time.<br />
<br />
If you comment on the interview, I'll add your name to a drawing for a Kindle version of <i>Spillworthy</i>. I'm doing the Kindle direct program, so I'll be purchasing the book for you through Amazon when the book comes out in May.<br />
<br />
This interview with Jon was such a pleasure. I'll leave the opportunity to comment open until the book is available to send and then I'll post the winner in the comments thread.<br />
<br />
The #FridayFlash community on Twitter has been so good to me. While you're there reading my interview, you should explore the site. You'll especially want to see <a href="http://fridayflash.org/press/category/fridayflash-report/" target="_blank">"The Friday Flash Report,"</a> with links to amazing short stories, all written this week. Want to add your own flash fiction to the list? Just click on "The Collector" in the upper right hand corner.<br />

PRESS RELEASE<br />
29 MARCH 2014<br />
<br />
Contact: Johanna Harness<br />

<b><br /></b><b>WHAT'S A CATCH AND RELEASE PARTY?</b><br />
<br />
In Johanna Harness' upcoming book, SPILLWORTHY, the main characters capture their best thoughts, transfer them to pizza boxes, and then set them free into the world.<br />
<br />
To mark the official release of the book, readers worldwide will be releasing paperback copies of the new book into the world. This global party is a "catch and release" party because new readers are encouraged to write their thoughts in the back of the book before again releasing it for others to find.<br />
<br />
Readers who find the book can log into spillworthy.com to tell others where they found the book and also to reveal where they next released it.<br />
<br />
"The best part of this experience is letting go," says Harness. "Believing that the books will end up where they are supposed to be is freeing on so many levels."<br />
<br />
Of course, the book will also available for sale. After May 1st, it can be found on Amazon.com or ordered through your local, independent bookstore.<br />
<br />

<br />
In SPILLWORTHY, the main characters release words into the world to be read by others. In that spirit, we're having a Catch &amp; Release Party to celebrate the release of this book into the world.<br />
<br />
Starting May 1st, tagged copies of the book will be released into the wild at various places around the world.<br />
<br />
Each book will be tagged with a number and a web address, so people can log in to the site and report a book catch--and hopefully another release.<br />
<br />
I'm asking anyone who finds a book to leave a comment in the back of the book before releasing it back into the wild.<br />
<br />
I will post exact locations where books are released, so anyone following along can go find the copy soon after it's dropped off. Otherwise, we're leaving it up to fate, believing that the book will find its way into the hands of the right people.<br />
<br />
For my own part, I'll release a copy on May 1st and then I'm starting out on a road trip beginning May 2nd. I'll be dropping copies in various cities in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington throughout the first two weeks of May.<br />
<br />
I need your help to make this spread even farther! If you're interested in participating I will send you a book to release during May. (I'll work with your schedules and we'll coordinate.)<br />
<br />
Some basic rules apply. Don't release the book anywhere that it could raise concerns about unattended items. And, if you leave it outside, please put it in a ziplock bag. As the person releasing the book, you can add the first comment to the back before setting it free. I would ask that you send me a picture of the book being released and tell me the location. (I won't post either until it's already done.)<br />
<br />
That's it!<br />
<br />
The more people involved the better! If it gets over-the-top expensive, I'll have to cap it, but for now I'm throwing the doors open for anyone to participate.<br />
