Moment Magazine's Emerging Writer Awards Announced

Founded in 2004, Moment Magazine's Emerging Writer Awards "recognize talented writers who have published at least one book and whose books confront themes that are of interest to Jewish readers. An emerging writer is defined as someone of any age who has not yet received widespread recognition and has not yet won a major literary award." Selections are made by committee (there is no published nomination process).

Congratulations to this year's awardees: Abby Sher (nonfiction winner), for Amen, Amen, Amen: Memoir of a Girl Who Couldn't Stop Praying; and Sara Houghteling (fiction winner), for Pictures at an Exhibition.
