Established in 1984, the Maureen Egen Writers Exchange Award introduces emerging writers to the New York City literary community. The prestigious award, which aims to provide promising writers a network for professional advancement, has helped to launch the careers of Sue Monk Kidd (The Invention of Wings, The Secret Life of Bees), Lidia Yuknavitch (The Book of Joan), Bryn Chancellor (Sycamore: A Novel), David Mura (Turning Japanese: Memoirs of a Sansei), and others.
Since Poets & Writers began the Writers Exchange in 1984, one-hundred-and-eight writers from forty-two states and the District of Columbia have been selected to participate.
The award is generously supported by Maureen Mahon Egen, a member of the Poets & Writers Board of Directors.
