The award will include a $1,000 cash prize as well as support to attend the AJL conference to receive the award. Books published in 2017 will be eligible for the 2018 award, and the award winner will be announced in late February or early March 2018. The Association of Jewish Libraries gratefully acknowledges the generous support of Dan Wyman Books for underwriting this new award. All works of fiction with significant Jewish thematic content written in English--novels, short story and flash fiction collections--by a single author published and available for purchase in the United States during 2017 are eligible for the award. Jewish thematic content means an extended grappling with Jewish themes throughout the book, including Judaism, Jewish history and culture, Jewish identity, etc. Please see the accompanying “Submission Guidelines” for more details. Amalia Warshenbrot, President of Association of Jewish Libraries, notes: “In recent years, fiction featuring Jewish themes has become more prevalent than ever before. AJL is proud to support authors incorporating Jewish topics into their work and to elevate the quality of Jewish fiction in the literary landscape.” The Association of Jewish Libraries promotes Jewish literacy through enhancement of libraries and library resources and through leadership for the profession and practitioners of Judaica librarianship. The Association fosters access to information, learning, teaching and research relating to Jews, Judaism, the Jewish experience and Israel. For more information, please visit www.jewishlibraries.org.
