(Want to learn more about Eloise Jarvis McGraw?Just click <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eloise_Jarvis_McGraw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still stunned, but mostly I&#8217;m incredibly grateful.<\/p>\n<p>The day to day of writing is mostly a solitary thing, but the the job of getting a book out into the world requires a lot of support. I&#8217;m so grateful for my friends, my family,\u00a0 my agent, and my editor who all helped me write a book that people enjoy. It really does take a village. I only hope I give as good as I get.<\/p>\n<p>I shared a lot of thanks in my speech that night &#8211; a speech I never imagined I&#8217;d have to give. I thought I&#8217;d share it here on my blog, too, for those of you who didn&#8217;t make it to the awards ceremony. <strong>*Note:\u00a0 this may not perfectly match the deer-in-the-headlights, stammering speech I actually delivered in a state of shock that night. \ud83d\ude42 But it&#8217;s pretty close to what I hope I said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I really didn\u2019t expect it could get any better than seeing my little book on a list with so many authors whose work I enjoy and admire. To my fellow Children\u2019s Lit. Finalists:\u00a0 Kurt, Diane, Elizabeth, and Cynthia \u2013 your work is everything that is wonderful in kidlit. I\u2019m honored to be in your company tonight.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As my character Kit learns in my book, you may start your journey alone, but it really takes the help of friends \u2013 both likely and unlikely \u2013 to get you where you need to go. And with that in mind, I have some folks to thank:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>First Literary Arts. You championed this book far longer than you might know. First, with your Author Tours that brought workshops led by real life authors to my little town on the other end of the state. Then with a generous fellowship that helped me revise my story into something an incredible agent and later an editor would want. And now this. I can\u2019t even begin to express how truly grateful I am.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Second, I\u2019d like to thank our glorious community of Oregon Authors. I don\u2019t know what writers are like everywhere else, but writers in Oregon are amazing. <\/em><strong>*<\/strong><em>Hardworking, talented, kind, and incredibly generous and supportive. I\u2019m forever grateful to you for letting me into your organizations, for answering my emails and posts with grace and kindness, and for being so danged inspiring. It\u2019s an honor to be part of your community and a gift that I get to call so many of you friends.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And finally I\u2019d like to thank my husband John who believed in this book from the beginning &#8211;\u00a0 and who does all the really hard stuff \u2013 like cooking dinner and navigating Portland traffic. None of this happens without you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you all so much. I\u2019m stunned and beyond thrilled.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>*<strong>I may have said freaking amazing at the event &#8211; because they really are. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was a pretty spectacular evening spent with pretty spectacular people.
