Juniper Prizes edit

The press also publishes fiction and poetry through its annual Juniper Prizes.[3] The Juniper Prize was named in honor of local poet Robert Francis and his house ('Fort Juniper').[4] The Juniper Prizes include:

  • 2 prizes for poetry: one for a previously published poet, one for a poet not previously published[5]
  • 2 prizes for fiction: one for a novel, one for a collection of short stories[6]
  • creative non-fiction[7]

The poetry award began in 1975, the fiction award in 2004, and the award for creative non-fiction in 2018.[7]
