    Nan Snow Emerging Writer Award

    As part of its mission to promote the work and careers of women writers, the C.D. Wright Women Writers Conference is excited to sponsor the Nan Snow Emerging Writer Award, which celebrates conference attendees whose writing shows considerable promise. First, second, and third place winners will receive a monetary prize ($500, $250, and $100 respectively) and will be invited to read their work during a special awards panel held during the conference.

    ​Eligibility: Any female-identifying writers* who have registered for the conference (or who have applied for a stipend) and consider themselves to be an emerging writer in their respective field or genre may apply for consideration.

    *Current UCA students and employees are not eligible for the Nan Snow Emerging Writer Award.
     

    Submission Guidelines: Eligible conference attendees should complete the Nan Snow Emerging Writer Award Form and attach one piece of writing, not to exceed 25 pages in length. Any and all fields and genres are accepted. If submitting poetry, blog posts, editorial columns, or another genre that tends to be short in length, entrants may submit up to three pieces of writing in one file, provided the submission does not exceed the 25-page limit. Please do not send more than one longer piece or three short pieces (within the 25-page limit). Work that has been previously published is accepted.

    There is no entrance fee, though award entrants must have already registered (or applied for a stipend) for the 2019 C.D. Wright Women Writers Conference. 

    Evaluation: A committee of women writers from literary, professional, and academic writing will judge the contest. They will evaluate submissions based on the promise each piece shows in its individual discipline.
