“I want to thank everyone who supported the site during its first year! I thank everyone who reads and follows it, the illustrators who send their materials and events and share our news, the publishers who trust us by sending their books for reviews, as well as everyone who supports and helps us and seeks our support and help in making various events happen. Of course, last but not least, I want to thank Pantalei Stoyanov, who created the vision, functionality and maintains the site, and my mother and father, who were in Plovdiv yesterday to bear the weight of the prize, since I happened to be on a flight to Washington.
