Every third year, Poets & Writers selects a poet and a fiction writer from California to receive the California Writers Exchange Award, which is funded by a generous grant from the James Irvine Foundation. Authors of the winning manuscripts, selected from among hundreds of submissions, are flown to New York City for a week of meetings with literary agents, editors, publishers, and fellow writers, plus a reading at a New York venue. This year's winners were chosen from a pool of 692 fiction entries and 712 poetry entries. The judges were Karen Tei Yamashita for fiction and Juan Felipe Herrera for poetry. Click here for more information about this year's winners.
Please join us to welcome the 2010 California Writers Exchange winners to the Big Apple, and to hear them read from their work.
