A great deal of work went into The Cybils. An amazing number of outstanding people got involved, both online and offline. A seed of an idea blossomed into a gorgeous bouquet of literary flowers thanks to the support of bloggers, publishers, and readers like you! Kudos to each and every nominee and committee member, with special thanks to Kelly and Anne, the wonderful, glowing parents of this brainchild.
