William Saroyan International Prize for Writing

by

Submissions are now being accepted for the seventh William Saroyan International Prize for Writing. This award, given by Stanford University Libraries in partnership with the William Saroyan Foundation, recognizes newly published works of fiction and nonfiction with a $5,000 award for the winner in each category. The prize is designed to encourage new or emerging writers and honor the Saroyan literary legacy of originality, vitality and stylistic innovation.

The prize commemorates the life, legacy and intentions of William Saroyan—author, artist, dramatist, composer —and is intended to encourage new or emerging writers, rather than to recognize established literary figures.

Entries must be received by January 29, 2016. For entry forms and more information on the prize, visit the Saroyan Prize website.
