How is the Homeschooled Voices Book Award going? There has been some progress in the last few months, but there is still a lot of work to be done if this is going to become an established, successful book award.
The good news is that current volunteer judges have made progress on reading the eligible books. We have chosen to continue focusing on 2025 books although it is now 2026. This is because the award got off to a slow start last year, and it is just easier to access the slightly older 2025 books than the 2026 ones which are either brand new or not even released yet. Our plan is to get through these as soon as possible and then move on to this year’s books. So far, there are some titles that seem quite promising to me. Book reviews are coming soon to this site, and I am excited for the opportunity to promote good homeschooling representation.
Update: I had previously said the “bad news” was that very few people were participating. Recently, that has begun to change. I am grateful for all the people who have applied, and you are welcome to join the Homeschooled Voices Book Award at any time! If you end up being too late for one award cycle, you’ll have a place in the next one.
