About the Book Award
The Philosophical Society of Texas presents three literary awards annually, each with a $2,500 prize: one for a work of fiction, one for a nonfiction book, and one for a volume of poetry. The winning authors will be invited to attend the Annual Meeting to receive the awards and sign books. Judges may withhold the awards at their discretion.
The submission deadline has passed for the 2019 awards. The 2019 award recipients will be presented at the 2020 Annual Meeting.
