Database of Literary Awards in the United States

Picture

​In an effort to promote and 
expose contemporary Latin American literature to a wider audience in the United States, Latino Book Review has created an ongoing database of significant Literary Awards based in the United States. We hope this database will encourage more Latino authors to submit their works to mainstream awards, prizes and grants, as well as facilitate the process of submission. We ask the general public to help Latino Book Review continue building this database by providing the names of significant literary awards and a link to the submission guideline webpage on the comment section below.

We are confident in the passion and talent of Latino writers across the United States, and understand that our collective efforts will help expand our stories and culture.
