About
Description
The Whiting Foundation has been supporting creative writing since 1985 through the prestigious Whiting Awards. Each year, they grant $50,000 to ten emerging writers in the fields of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama. The awards are given based on early accomplishments and the promise of great work to come.
The foundation aims to identify exceptional new writers who have yet to make their mark in the literary culture, providing them with a first opportunity to fully devote themselves to writing. The recognition and support from the Whiting Foundation have had a significant impact, with past winners going on to receive prestigious awards and fellowships like the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, and MacArthur Fellowship. With an impressive list of previous winners, the Whiting Awards continue to shape and advance literature in the country.
The foundation does not accept applications or unsolicited nominations; instead, they invite nominators from various fields to propose a single candidate each. Winners are chosen by a selection committee, ensuring a fair and anonymous selection process. The Whiting Awards are known for giving writers the gift of time and encouragement, allowing them to explore their talents and push the boundaries of their craft
