Congratulations to our 2019 Conference Award Recipients
Participating editors and agents have the option of selecting the fiction or nonfiction project that most intrigues them, for a Conference Choice Award. These awards do not represent the winner of a competition, but rather an encouragement to the authors selected that their work stands out among the hundreds of other submissions. Receiving a Conference Choice Award is an honor that should be viewed as an acknowledgement of your hard work and professional writing.
