William Saroyan International Prize for Writing

The Stanford Libraries and the William Saroyan Foundation jointly award the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing, a biennial competition for newly-published books.

The prize commemorates the life, legacy and intentions of William Saroyan - author, artist, dramatist, composer - and is intended to encourage new or emerging writers, rather than to recognize established literary figures.

Congratulations to Hernán Diaz and Robert Moor, winners of the 2018 Saroyan Prize!
