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 are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to receive the awards and sign books. Judges may withhold the awards at their discretion.
The submission deadline for the 2021 prizes (books published in 2020) is August 1, 2021. The guidelines can be seen here. The 2021 prize recipients will be announced during the Society's 2022 Annual Meeting to be held in El Paso, Texas on February 5th.
