A massage from Alex
Espinoza
Esteemed Friends and Colleagues:
I hope this finds you all well and thriving.
I'm writing about an exciting and new venture that I hope you will share with
students and/or fellow writers.
As one of my first acts as Tomás Rivera
Endowed Chair, I'd like to announce the call for submissions for the first
Tomás Rivera Book Prize. Through a new partnership between the Los Angeles
Review of Books, the winning manuscript will be published by LARB Libros.
Additionally, the winner will receive $1,000 and a stipend to travel to UC
Riverside to read from their work.
Our first judge is writer Luis Alberto
Urrea.
My hope is that this contest will provide
new and emerging writers a unique opportunity to showcase their work, that it
will cultivate the next generation of Chicanx and Latinx writers, and that it
will continue to honor the rich literary legacy of Tomás Rivera. Submission
guidelines can be found in the announcement and by following this link.
If you have any questions, please reach out.
Yours:
Æ
