DAG Foundation

A prize of $20,000 will be given annually to support work on a second book of fiction or creative nonfiction by an emerging writer who “expands the possibilities for American writing.” Writers who are based in the U.S. and have previously published one novel, short story collection, essay collection, memoir, or hybrid book of prose are eligible. Using only the online submission platform, submit a bio, curriculum vitae, a 500-word description of the work-in-progress, and a writing sample of up to 25 pages by March 18. There is no entry fee.
