The Bard Fiction Prize's First Decade

Awarded each October to “a promising, emerging writer who is an American citizen aged 39 or younger at the time of application,” the BFP offers a significant cash prize and a semester-long appointment as writer-in-residence at Bard College. Author and Conjunctions editor Bradford Morrow says he and fellow judges Mary Caponegro and Robert Kelly seek published authors “whose work we feel is original, ambitious, and shows profound promise for the future.”

Previous winners include:

2011 Karen Russell (Swamplandia!)


2010 Samantha Hunt (The Invention of Everything Else)



2009 Fiona Maazel (Last Last Chance)


2008 Salvador Plascencia (The People of Paper)
