The Gina Berriault Award (GBA) is a national award given to an emerging prose writer for an exemplary work-in-progress. The winner will have an excerpt of their winning submission published in the Fourteen Hills journal.
The Gina Berriault Award was inaugurated by Peter Orner in conjunction with Fourteen Hills Press to pay homage to the eponymous writer, a former SFSU professor who with every story embodied a certain selflessness and unflinching compassion. The award is given annually to a writer with a similar spirit who has shown a love for storytelling and a commitment to helping young writers.
