This is a back-to-back win for Robin-last year, her novel Romeo, Romeo won this award in the same category! As a winner, Robin will receive a medallion and certificate commemorating her award, and all of the winners will be in a full page ad in both the September Issue of Romance Writers Report (the official RWA magazine) and the October issue of RT Book Reviews.

2010 RWA NYC Golden Apple Awards:
Publisher and Editor of the Year!
Sourcebooks, Inc. and Editorial Manager Deb Werksman Honored
Naperville, IL (June, 23, 2010)-Sourcebooks is pleased to announce that the New York City chapter of Romance Writers of America has given the Golden Apple Award to Sourcebooks for publisher of the year and to Deb Werksman from Sourcebooks for editor of the year.
"Since 1997 when it acquired Casablanca Press, Sourcebooks has been the country's #1 publisher of non-fiction romance. I was acquiring non-fiction for the Casablanca imprint as well as acquiring Jane Austen fiction, and then I put the two together by launching us into the romance category," explains Werksman, who has been with the company for over twelve years. Sourcebooks Landmark, the fiction imprint, is the leading publisher of Jane Austen related literature. "We launched Casablanca fiction in Fall 2007 and it's been an amazing journey ever since." Sourcebooks Casablanca is now one of the fastest growing romance fiction publishers, now publishing 70-80 romance titles a year.
Sourcebooks is a forward-thinking, independent publishing house with a passion for books and a dedication to the belief that books change lives, and RWA NYC took notice. The awards dinner is September 16, 2010 in New York City, where Sourcebooks and Werksman will be recognized for their commitment and dedication.
