Group Description
The Glass Woman Prize honors passionate women's voices. Established in 2007, with deadlines at the spring and fall equinox, the prize is currently in its Seventeenth reading cycle. To date it has awarded a total of US$11,030 (including $530 in gifts from anonymous donors) to 44 women authors. Many of the winners and finalists are Fictionaut members. The Sixteenth Glass Woman Prize winner is Nonnie Augustine's story "All Is Ready." An Anonymous Angel Prize (donated by an anonymous Fictionaut member, no less) went to Sandy Ebner for her non-fiction "The Clothes I Was Wearing." Carol Reid's story "A Little Mystery" is a runner up prize winner.
Join us here to recognize the importance of women's uncensored voices. Finalists include stories by Lou Freshwater, Susan Gibb, Meg Pokrass, Misti Rainwater-Lites, and Gita M. Smith.
