Side question- Are these awards publicly voted for, or is it some commmitee who makes the choice? Stephen Send a noteboard - 18/10/2011 02:30:49 PM
Because if the commitee chooses the winner it really enforces the point that she had no chance to win and should not be on the list. If it was a public vote, then this whole scandal might have raised her chances of winning if she were to remain among the nomimees.

The latest scandal in the world of publishing: NBA asks Lauren Myracle to withdraw her book. Rebekah - 17/10/2011 07:24:12 PM 1636 Views
That does sound like quite an extraordinary screw-up. Camilla - 17/10/2011 07:33:56 PM 1241 Views
The book obviously wouldn't have been on the list. Cut it, don't apologize, tell people to fuck off Tom - 17/10/2011 08:11:15 PM 1194 Views
The quote from the blogger's father is all kinds of awesome. Legolas - 17/10/2011 10:26:52 PM 1462 Views
In fact I'm now far more tempted to read her books than Lauren Myracle's... Legolas - 17/10/2011 11:02:50 PM 1358 Views
the quote is from the book Cheaper by the Dozen The Wandering Gambler - 18/10/2011 03:44:32 AM 1262 Views
Wow, that's a great quote. I'm afraid I'm going to have to steal it now. *NM* Praziquantel - 18/10/2011 07:40:34 AM 578 Views
Yeah, I was confused that the NBA was focusing on a book and not on... itself. Gher - 18/10/2011 06:24:41 PM 1402 Views
the first fuck up was the mix up, the second was not to immediately apologise to the the author, but Foxhead - 18/10/2011 01:27:52 PM 1486 Views
I'm with Tom on this. Stephen - 18/10/2011 01:47:49 PM 1168 Views
That's a big FU, but she didn't do the right thing either... DomA - 18/10/2011 02:23:38 PM 1162 Views
That makes no sense. Why should she withdraw her book? Legolas - 18/10/2011 07:03:23 PM 1290 Views

It's a juried award Larry - 19/10/2011 04:07:07 AM 1222 Views
Like Legolas, I was thinking of the less well known NBA. Joel - 18/10/2011 04:08:18 PM 1533 Views
I think her reply should go something like this. MightyYT - 18/10/2011 08:03:23 PM 1414 Views
