IRS990/Desc0The Joyce Carol Oates Prize - The Joyce Carol Oates Prize, which is named in honor of the iconic author who was the Writer-in-Residence at the Project, recognizes annually a mid-career fiction writer who has earned a distinguished reputation and the approbation and gratitude of readers. By naming the prize in honor of Joyce Carol Oates, the Project gratefully acknowledges her inspiring lifelong impact as a teacher and writer without peer. While there are numerous prizes for emerging writers, this prize is for an already emerged author of national consequence - short-stories and/or novels - at the relatively middle stage of a burgeoning career. By mid-career we mean an author who has published at least two notable books of fiction, and who has yet to receive capstone recognition such as a Pulitzer or a MacArthur. Otherwise, there are no age, geographical, or stylistic restrictions. The winner receives a $50,000 award to encourage and support forthcoming work.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Creative Writing Workshops for High School Students - The New Literary Project leads creative writing workshops, free of charge, at high schools and after-school programs throughout the Bay Area. Ninety percent of students come from underserved communities and are the first in their families to go on to attend college. These workshops are taught by Simpson Fellows, who are creative writing teachers from The UC Berkeley, English Department, 50% of whom are people of color. In 2024, we conducted five workshops at Girls, Inc. of Alameda County, Contra Costa Juvenile Hall, CalPrep Charter School in Richmond, and at Northgate High School. A number of these young authors appear as Simpsonistas, our annual anthology.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Jack Hazard Fellowship - The Jack Hazard Fellowship is a groundbreaking initiative that awards $5,000 of support during the summer to work on writing projects for select high school teachers from around the United States. Jack Hazard Fellows are fiction, creative nonfiction, and memoir writers who teach full-time in an accredited high school in the United States, and they represent New Lit's commitment to support writers across generations, communities, and divides. The award's intention is to free teachers up to write freely during their summers.
