Congratulations to Jonathan Mingle, author of Gaslight, for being named a finalist for the Southern Environmental Law Center's 2025 Philip D. Reed Environmental Writing Award. From the press release:
The work of this year’s finalists explores a wide array of environmental topics, ranging from threats to wildlife and dwindling habitats, environmental injustices faced by Southern communities, the challenges our region faces as it deals with the realities of climate change to the importance of environmental conservation.
Presented each year, the Reed Award celebrates writers who achieve both literary excellence and offer extraordinary insight into the South’s natural treasures and environmental challenges. The award recognizes writers in two categories: the Book Category for works of nonfiction (not self-published) and the Journalism Category for newspaper, magazine, and online writing published by a recognized institution such as a news organization, university, or nonprofit group.
Reed Award winners are selected by a national panel of judges that includes leading environmental writers, journalists, and advocates. Winners will be announced in early February 2025.
