We apologize for this error — these events are open to all conference attendees.

Best Graduate Student Paper

All graduate students who present papers at the conference are invited to compete for the prize for the best graduate student paper. The winner will receive a copy of a Perkins Prize-winning book of his or her choice and will be encouraged to expand the winning paper for consideration by Narrative. In addition, the 2014 award winner will be eligible for $500 toward expenses to attend the 2015 conference.

Submit papers electronically as attachments (Word or pdf) to both of the judges: Kay Young <kayyoung@english.ucsb.edu>and Paul Wake <p.wake@mmu.ac.uk>. Papers must be received by May 1, 2014.

Papers must be unrevised conference presentations. While formatting changes, correction of typos, and the addition of a Works Cited page are acceptable, changes to the substance of the argument are not.
