> REMEMBERING GEORGE GARRETT
>
> One of the members of AWP's founding board of directors, George Garrett,
> passed away in May. George was very generous to AWP in his donation of work
> and time to the association's projects. He was the long-serving editor of
> Intro. One year, when AWP was struggling to secure a new publisher for
> Intro, George insisted that his publisher accept the Intro anthology for
> the
> next book on George's own personal three-book contract. This was in the
> 1970s, when his novel The Death of Fox was a best-seller and a selection of
> the Book of the Month Club. George¹s publisher agreed to the deal. George's
> garage was filled with mail bins of Intro submissions for many years, and
> Intro gave many of our members their first boasting rights of national
> publication.
>
> A generous and industrious writer, teacher, and editor, George was a mentor
> and friend to many of AWP's most accomplished writers and teachers. It was
> due to George's generosity to the programs and writers of AWP that we
> created the George Garrett Award for Outstanding Community Service in
> Literature in 2004.
>
> We begin accepting letters of nomination for George¹s namesake award on
> August 1st, and anyone may submit letters of nomination. The deadline for
> letters of nominations is September 15th.
>
> Complete guidelines and criteria for the award are available on both our
> public and members-only website.
