The Guidelines for the 2010 Betty Gabehart Prize will be released soon!
Congratulations to our 2009 winners:

Each year the Kentucky Women Writers Conference offers opportunities for both emerging and established voices to be singled out and cheered on by our community. The Betty Gabehart Prize honors our good friend, patron, and former director who led the conference during its seminal decade in the 1980s.
Three prizes are awarded, in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Each winner receives $100, two 2-day passes, publication of the winning manuscript on this web site (if desired), and the opportunity to read her winning manuscript at the conference.
Congratulations to our 2008 winners!
