Knoxville Writers' Guild 
Career Achievement Award
 
To Be Announced

Part of the Knoxville Writers' Guild mission is "to promote writing and creativity in the wider community through education, publication, and sponsorship of writing-related events."  Beginning in 2002, we have added another goal:  to begin a tradition of honoring local writers whose career achievements deserve the recognition of the wider community that is the Knoxville metropolitan area and our region as a whole.
