We want to congratulate Regina Sirois on winning the 2012 Young Adult Fiction Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.

As we discussed in an earlier blog post, Sirois, a past Creative Writing minor from our department, was getting national recognition through the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (ABNA) competition. Her book, On Little Wings, was one of three finalists selected out of the original 5,000 entries through a series of judging and advancements conducted byPublishers Weekly, Amazon.com, and a panel assembled by Penguin Publishing.

After the votes were tallied up, Sirois came out ahead! We look forward to many more great things from Sirois in the future.
