| Whiting Writers Awards | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
The MRS. GILES WHITING FOUNDATION is dedicated to the support of the humanities and of creative writing. Since 1985, the Foundation has supported creative writing through the Whiting Writers Awards which are given annually to ten emerging writers in fiction, nonfiction, poetry and plays. The awards are based on accomplishment and promise. Candidates are proposed by nominators from across the country whose experience and vocations bring them in contact with individuals of extraordinary talent. Winners are chosen by a selection committee, a small group of recognized writers, literary scholars, and editors, appointed annually by the Foundation. Both nominators and selectors serve anonymously. The Foundation does not accept applications to the Writers' Program. The Whiting Writers’ Awards are intended for emerging writers. We hope to identify exceptional new writers who have yet to make their mark in the literary culture. The award is highly competitive. Up to ten awards will be made from approximately 90 to 100 nominations. Nominators are literary professionals across the country representing all literary genres who are likely to know about emerging writers at the beginning of promising careers. The majority are writers, often teachers as well, and the list has included editors, agents, critics, bookstore owners, reading series organizers, dramaturgs, and artistic directors of theaters. Nominators are contacted by the foundation and are each asked to nominate one emerging writer of exceptional talent and promise. The roster of nominators changes annually, although some nominators have served more than once. send: Complete MS looking for: Any specifically: Literary |
