December 17, 2007Ish Harris-Wolff Nominated for Writing AwardIsh Harris-Wolff in Core Reserve has been nominated for the Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) Intro Journals Project award in fiction, a national literary competition for the discovery and publication of the best new works by students currently enrolled in the writing programs. An excerpt from her novel-in-progress, “A Magpie’s Heart” was chosen from short stories and novel excerpts submitted by graduate students in Northwestern’s Masters in Creative Writing (MCW) Program. “I was stunned when I got the news,” Ish says. “I’ll be even more stunned if I win the national competition. My novel is in the fantasy genre and academia’s a little ambivalent about works outside of mainstream literary writing.” |
