Diverse Writing Awards from Lee & Low Books
It’s that time of year! Lee & Low is hosting its annual writing contests for writers of color in the United States. Writers have the option of submitting their work to the New Voices Award and/or the New Visions Award.
The New Voices Award, now in it’s 18th year, was established in 2000 and encourages writers of color to submit their work to a publisher that takes pride in nurturing new talent. The New Visions Award, now in it’s 5th year, was established in 2012 by Tu Books (an imprint of Lee & Low), awarding new talent in the middle grade and young adult genres.
