New York, May 31, 2007— Big Earth Publishing is proud to announce that Cecilia “Pudge” Kleinkauf has received the prestigious Benjamin Franklin Sports/Recreation Book of the Year Award for her groundbreaking new book River Girls: Flyfishing for Young Women. The Benjamin Franklin Award, named in honor of America’s most cherished printer and publisher, recognizes excellence in independent publishing. Publications, grouped by genre, are judged for design and editorial merit by top practitioners in each field. In River Girls, the first flyfishing book ever geared toward teaching young women the sport, Kleinkauf uses the real-life experiences of four young women to create an informative and engaging introduction for pre-teen and teenage girls. Covering everything from casting to choosing flies, Kleinkauf conveys the idea the flyfishing is not only more challenging than other types of fishing, it’s more fun, too. And, it is definitely not just a sport for boys. Kleinkauf’s first book, Flyfishing Women Explore Alaska was a finalist for the Benjamin Franklin Award in 2004, making her one of few authors ever to have received multiple nominations for this prominent award. Cecilia “Pudge” Kleinkauf has owned and operated her instruction and guide service, Women’s Flyfishing, for 19 of the 36 years she has lived and fished in Alaska. During that time Pudge has introduced countless women to the joys of flyfishing. Kleinkauf’s books are available at book, gift, and outdoor retailers throughout the US. For additional information, call 1-800-258-5830. |
