MHA: Calls for Awards

By January 25, 2016
A friendly letter and reminder from the Mormon History Association. Be sure to nominate those who are deserving! Please remember female authors and scholars from underrepresented groups if/when one nominates work. It does not make much time to nominate someone else’s work!]

  1. We would like to submit the following book for the First Book Award:

    Irenaeus, Joseph Smith, and God-Making Heresy by
    ADAM J. POWELL

    We will send four copies to the address you provide. Is there also a form to fill out? And I hope that the February 1 deadline is a mailing date?

    Harry Keyishian, Director, Fairleigh Dickinson University Press

    We published several other volumes in our Mormon Studies Series during 2015. (Series Editor: Dr. Rachel Cope). List available.

  2. Yes, Harry – Feb 1 is the mailing deadline; thanks for getting in touch via email also, we’ll look forward to receiving the book. I thought I’d respond here as well, in case other presses had similar questions.

    At this time, there’s not a form, though most presses usually include a brief cover letter explaining which award they are asking consideration for.
