AWP Award Series - Sue William Silverman Endowment

About the Sue William Silverman Endowment

Sue William Silverman received the AWP Prize in Creative Nonfiction in 1995. She says, “A literary memoir is turning life into art. I now had credentials to make this claim: not only for me, but for the genre itself.” The endowment she started funds a $2,500 award for a work of creative nonfiction and publication by the University of Georgia Press.
