Quills Suspended

Reed Business Information, has announced plans to suspend support of the Quill Awards program.

The first Quills event took place in October 2005 to celebrate the best in book publishing while promoting the cause of literacy in the U.S. Former Variety publisher Gerry Byrne chaired the Quills Literacy Foundation, which was overseen by an Advisory board made up of 40 members of the publishing and media community.

“To help create a program to celebrate the written word was a privilege,” says Byrne. “Thank you to all my colleagues at Reed, NBC and throughout the book publishing world for their support."
