The Rainbow Awards: Call for Judges

This is the last week of voting and I realize that I need more judges for the Jury to allow to all the worthy books a chance to be read and win. So this is a call for Judges, I need at least other 10/15 people willing to read 5 ebooks in a month and half (all November and first 2 week of December).

Please "apply" only if you are really willing and ready to answer to the few emails I will have to send you to plan the work of the Jury, I really don't have the time to hunt the judges around, so think twice before answer, please don't make me loose time, in this moment I have very few. The Jury will be of 60 people, and I'm alone in reining all of them.

If you are interested, leave a comment: they are screened so only you and me will read them.

 

Genre to be read: Biography, Comedy, Coming of Age/Young Adult, Contemporary, Fantasy/Futuristic, Historical, Mystery/Thriller, Paranormal/Horror. And SubGenre: Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender. You can apply even if you don't feel comfortable to read some of the genres above, only please let me know, so I will not assign to you books that you are not willing to read.

That's what I thought, and I still don't understand why. Changing that rule to allow folks to judge outside their own genre would probably give you the readers you need.

I'm with you in that, but it was the first thing I had to decide to give credibility to the awards, many people were questioning the impartiality of the judges. I lost at least 3 judges for that and now I can go back.
