About This Scholarship

The Unpublished Writer’s Award is a literary prize that is awarded to unpublished authors who have not yet had a book published through a traditional publishing house. The award is typically sponsored by a literary organization, foundation, or publishing company, and aims to encourage and support emerging writers in their pursuit of a writing career.

The selection process for the Unpublished Writer’s Award typically involves a panel of judges who review the submissions and select a winner based on the quality of the writing, the originality of the voice, and the potential for future success. The winner of the award may receive a monetary prize, as well as opportunities for publication, mentorship, and other forms of support to help further their writing career.

Even if a writer does not win the award, the application process can be a valuable learning experience and an opportunity to receive feedback on their writing from industry professionals.
