Seeking outstanding NH books

The New Hampshire Writers’ Project is now accepting nominations for the 2007 New Hampshire Literary Awards for outstanding works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, children’s literature, and journalism, and for lifetime achievement. The deadline for nominations is July 10, 2007. This year's awards will, for the first time, include the Donald M. Murray Outstanding Journalism Award, in honor of Donald M. Murray, who died last December at the age of 82.

The New Hampshire Literary Awards, offered biennially since 1992, celebrate the remarkable literary talent in the Granite State. A cash prize of $500 is given to recipients of the Jane Kenyon Award for Outstanding Book of Poetry and the Donald M. Murray Outstanding Journalism Award. The awards ceremony, which includes a reception and presentations by 2005 award winners, will be held at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester on November 17, 2007.
