Award Winners Announced

I recently had the honor of judging the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Foundation's College Writing Award in the fiction category. I read some really good stories, and for awhile I wasn't sure what was going to distinguish one as the winner. Then I read a story called "Belly." That decided it. Such a good story, from a writer the world is going to hear more from. I read the stories anonymously, and I've only recently heard who the winners actually are. 

The Foundation has just announced them!

And, by the way, this is the same award that I won way back in 1992. Good things come of it!
