For her lifetime contribution as a children's writer, Woodson won the Margaret Edwards Award in 2005〔 and she was the U.S. nominee for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2014.〔〔 IBBY named her one of six Andersen Award finalists on March 17, 2014.〔 She won the National Book Award in 2014 in the category of "Young People's Literature" for ''Brown Girl Dreaming''. ==Writing career==
After college, Woodson went to work for Kirchoff/Wohlberg, a children's packaging company. She helped to write the California standardized reading tests and caught the attention of a Liza Pulitzer-Voges, a children's book agent at the same company. Although the partnership did not work out, it did get her first manuscript out of a drawer. She then enrolled in Bunny Gable's children's book writing class at the New School, where Bebe Willoughby, an editor at Delacorte, heard a reading from ''Last Summer with Maizon'' and requested the manuscript. Delacorte bought the manuscript, but Willoughby left the company before editing it and so Wendy Lamb took over and saw Woodson's first six books published.〔Brown, Jennifer M.
