Twentieth Annual Paris Writers Workshop
stop press
Another PWW success story!
Natalia Sarkissian (PWW 2006) writes: "Congratulations on your lovely new website. I would love to attend PWW this year, but as a result of last year's short-story workshop with Manette Ansay I was awarded a merit scholarship by Vermont College, where I am currently enrolled! I can safely say it is all thanks to you and your wonderful program that my life has taken a new and unexpected turn."
Paris Prize for Fiction
The Paris Writers Workshop is pleased to announce the inauguration of the annual Paris Prize for Fiction, to be presented at the Twentieth Workshop in July 2008.
The prize, of five thousand US dollars ($5000), will be awarded for a novel or collection of short stories in English by a writer who has not previously been published in book form. (Appearance of an extract in a magazine, anthology etc does not constitute prior publication.)
