Join Brooklyn Public Library & the Brooklyn Eagles to celebrate The 2021 Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize Winners in Fiction/Poetry and Nonfiction.
At this virtual celebration, hosted by Isaac Fitzgerald, we will announce and celebrate the winning authors of the 2021 Brooklyn Public Library's Literary Prize in both categories, hear citations from our BPL librarians and staff jurors, reflect back with 2018 winner Carmen Maria Machado, and toast the culmination of the Brooklyn Eagles' 2021 Brooklyn Classic Campaign: Stay Home and Read.
About the prize: The BPL Literary Prize, presented by the Brooklyn Eagles, recognizes writing that captures Brooklyn’s spirit and reflect the borough, one of the most socially and culturally diverse communities in the country. The prize is selected by both librarians and library staff, drawing on their broad knowledge of literature, contemporary writing, and the many populations they serve.
The complete 2021 longlist can be viewed here; the 2021 shortlist will be announced the week of October 15th in tandem with our Shortlist Celebration. The winners will receive a $5,000 prize and will be celebrated throughout the year with programs, book discussions, and more.
