2010: Finalist, The Bellwether Prize, National Writers United

2010 Finalist: The Bellwether Prize

Barbara Kingsolver sponsors this prize, and the National Writers United Service Organization managed it. (PEN American Center currently coordinates the contest.) My novel manuscript, Being Good About It, reached the final eight out of hundreds submitted. The prize seeks to support a literature of social responsibility. It promotes literary novels that address issues of social justice and the impact of culture and politics on human relationships.
