Indiana Authors Award
The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award was
established when the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library
Foundation received a generous grant from The Glick Fund, a fund
of Central Indiana Community Foundation. This program seeks to
recognize the contributions of Indiana authors to the literary
landscape in Indiana and across the nation.
The Award categories are:
National Author - $10,000 prize: A writer with Indiana ties, but
whose work is known and read throughout the country. The
national author will be evaluated on their entire body of work.
Regional Author - $7,500 prize: A writer who is well known and
respected throughout the State of Indiana. The regional author
will be evaluated on their entire body of work.
Emerging Author - $5,000 prize: A writer with only one published
book. The emerging author will be evaluated on their single
published work.
In addition to a cash prize,
each author’s Indiana hometown public library will receive a
grant of $2,500 from the Library Foundation.
From start to finish, the Indiana Authors Award invites
participation from people around the state beginning with the
nomination process, and continuing throughout the year with
outreach to organizations serving readers and writers, an
interactive Web site, public programs, and more.
