The 2014 Howells Essay Prize Competition Call for Entrants
The Howells Society Essay Prize is awarded each year for the best paper on Howells presented at the annual ALA conference. The winning essay may have been presented in any session on the program of the conference, including but not limited to panels sponsored by the Howells Society. Papers are judged by members of the Executive Committee, who have the option of appointing additional readers as neces- sary.
The author of the winning essay will receive a cash award of $250, and the winning essay will be published (with the author’s permission) in a future issue of The Howellsian. Copyright remains with the writer of the essay, so publication here does not preclude later publication elsewhere of a re- vised version of the essay.
2014 presenters who wish to enter their papers in this year’s competition must submit them by January 16, 2015 to the Society’s President, Dan Mrozowski. You are welcome to revise your paper before submitting it, but please keep in mind that the essay should be a “conference length” paper and should not exceed 12-15 pages, maximum. Please send the papers as e-mail attachments, in MS Word format, to daniel.mrozowski @ trincoll.edu.
