PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel Annual literary award
The PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Fiction is awarded annually to a full-length novel or book of short stories by an American author who has not previously published a full-length book of fiction. The award is named after Ernest Hemingway and funded by the Hemingway family and the Ernest Hemingway Foundation/Society. It is administered by PEN America . Mary Welsh Hemingway , a member of PEN, founded the award in 1976 both to honor the memory of her husband and to recognize distinguished first books of fiction.
The winner is selected by a panel of three distinguished fiction writers and receives a cash prize of US$25,000.[ 1] Along with the winner, two finalists and two runners-up receive a Ucross Residency Fellowship at the Ucross Foundation , a retreat for artists and writers on a 22,000 acre (89 km²) ranch on the high plains in Ucross , Wyoming . The award ceremony is held at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston , Massachusetts .
The award presentation is sponsored in part by the JFK Presidential Library .[ 2]
The award is one of many PEN awards sponsored by PEN International affiliates in over 145 PEN centres around the world.
