September Check In
To get you started, one award traditionally presented in September is The Bard Fiction Prize awarded to a promising emerging writer who is an American citizen aged 39 years or younger at the time of application. The winner of the award presented on Sep. 30. 2019 was Clare Beams, for her debut collection of short stories, We Show What We Have Learned.
