PFF - PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction

Organization: Pen-Faulkner Foundation

The PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction is a national prize which honors the best published works of fiction by American citizens in a calendar year. Three judges, chosen annually by the directors of the PEN/Faulkner Foundation, select five books from among the more than 300 works submitted, making this the largest peer-juried award in the country. The winning writer and four finalists are honored at a ceremony held in Washington at the Folger Shakespeare Library in May. Publishers (trade, university, or small presses), agents, or authors may submit books published in 2007 by living American writers. Authors must be American citizens. PEN/Faulkner Foundation does not accept self-published books.
