Markowitz Award for Emerging Writers Now Open

Lambda Literary is now accepting applications for the 2018 Judith A. Markowitz Award for Emerging LGBTQ Writers. The Judith A. Markowitz Award honors LGBTQ-identified writers whose work demonstrates their strong potential for promising careers. Two Emerging LGBTQ Writer prizes will be presented, each with a cash prize of $1000. Applicants to this prize may be self-nominated or nominated by another member of the community.

By emergent writer, Lambda Literary means those who have published at least one but no more than two books of fiction, nonfiction or poetry. Last year's winners were H Melt & Victor Yates.
