Granum Prize Shortlist Announced

October 26, 2021 — We are delighted to announce the shortlist for the 2021 Granum Foundation Fellowship Prize, which was established to help U.S.-based writers complete substantive literary works and to help launch these works.

We commend all the applicants on the longlist. As we narrowed the pool of writers even further for this round, we had to make tough decisions based on sometimes small and subjective differences.

The shortlist represents the top 4% of entries from all genres. The winner and finalists will be announced on November 9, 2021.

Applications for our next round of prizes are expected to open in May, 2022.

Shortlist: Michele Bantz, Nicole Gonzalez, Louise Marburg, Okwudili Nebeolisa, Jae Nichelle, Daniel Pearce, Tanya Rey, Mariana Sabino, Nicole Sealey
